I like the setup that you currently have. :) only thing is have you got a backup solution? or are you using the Windows 8 backup feature?

Oh, ok! (Thought I needed to add something :p)
As for the backups solution, I am using Windows 8's backup feature.

Adblock plus with all the filters dont you find it takes longer for pages to load now since it has all the filters to go through? I usually find for me that fanboy's list and easylist are good enough

No I have not noticed and slowdown while using all filters.
Also, should I be using Comodo IceDragon instead of Firefox? (With Same addons)

I would suggest you to add "Do Not Track Plus" Add-on to your browser Add-on list

Is this good? I use hidemyass since I don't wanna setup a vpn on my computer.

Have you tried AnonymousX ???
Include Noscript for stopping java executions, since you are an advance user you shouldn't have a problem

Reinstalling! My new setup, need Feedback.

So, I have reinstalled my computer and currently has a dilemma...

Since I own both Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 and Bitdefender Total Security 2013, I'm unsure of which on to use. :huh:

What are your opinions?

Also, I have Malwarebytes Pro, but Bitdefender apprently only works with free version. (But I don't have to enable the pro options.)
As for my browser, I am unsure if I should be using Comodo Dragon instead of Firefox? (using the same addons of course, ScriptNo instead of noscript however.)

Also
Should I use any kind of DNS Service? (Comodo, Norton, etc?)

Other programs I have on the computer:
.VLC
.Notepad++
.WinRar (The free version.)
.Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate

Programs I maybe will add: (if necessary)
.Microsoft Office
.CCleaner

So what do you think?

RE: Reinstalling! My new setup, need Feedback.

I like it, I would go with Kaspersky, as what I have seen over this forum it seems to be doing well in it's results compared to Bitdefender.

When you say WinRar (The free version.), isn't WinrRar you have to pay for?

Plus one more thing that you can add to Firefox is Lastpass :)

Well, WinRar itself is free as long as you don't use the GUI.
And I only use the right click context menu. (So it seem the trial version last forever, as long as you don't use GUI.)

Ok, I take it then that you recommend Firefox over Dragon? (Lastpass will be added. Thx ^^.)

And, can I use Malwarebytes Pro (realtime protection at the same time as Kaspersky, or Should I just us the free version?)

BTW: Should I use any DNS? (Comodo, Norton, etc?)

RE: Reinstalling! My new setup, need Feedback.

I say with using Kaspersky I would use the free version of Malwarebytes only because Kaspersky has everything that you need.

Kaspersky at default settings would be a god choice
you could also enable or disable some settings according to your needs if necessary

RE: Reinstalling! My new setup, need Feedback.

you say your level of security risk is high, in that case i would suggest you to get a HIPS for your system have you tried COMODO or EAM ???
Kaspersky is not a bad choice, it was my only paid product, but had to move on because my security risks were rising and kaspersky was missing too many of them
haven't used kaspersky for over a year and half, if it has improved then may be i dont know, would like to get a confirmation from Mclovin :D

RE: Reinstalling! My new setup, need Feedback.

yes you could use the kaspersky guide since most of the settings are still the same but i would not recommend using MBAM pro along side kaspersky in realtime since it would slow down your system

i would recommend you use MBAM on demand if you notice any slowdown on system in realtime

yes agree with loveboy_lion comment and since you have one of the best protection on your system if you choose any one between them,you did not need mbam pro.
If you want mbam pro try it with norton,your computer will be fast and protected
