TrapperX overkill Security Config

[Deleted member 178]

HMPA + MBAE = conflict
SAS is pointless when MBAM and Avast is there

This config isn't overkill , it is bloated and conflicting.

Instead of using uBlock you can switch to uBlock Origin.

Real-time Malware Protection:

Avast Internet Security - This one is fine

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Home Premium - You can keep it real-time. But considering how much resources it uses you might consider making on-demand. It's your choice

SuperAntiSpyware Lifetime - Unnecessary. There are better products out there. Either put it on-demand or remove it entirely and replace it with Zemana Antimalware free

HitmanPro Alert - Is it the paid version or free version? Depending on which one, you might have some conflict with Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit. So it could be for the best to choose just one.

Malwarebytes Anti-Eploit Premium - Read my previous comment.


On-Demand:

Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit - Correct me if I'm wrong. But I believe Malwarebytes AntiMalware already has this product integrated.


Extensions:

Ublock - You can try Ublock Origin. It's made by Ublock's original developer​

Hi TrapperX.

Thank you for sharing your configuration with it's full range, & assortment, of reputable software. It reflects your choices, & I like them.
I've enjoyed reading the many encouraging posts, and whether you choose to alter the use of some programs, or not, you've received many noteworthy and well tested suggestions.

One form of protection I'll mention, now, is virtualization.

• A popular (& free) program which prevents unwanted changes from permanently effecting your system is called Sandboxie - Sandboxie - Sandbox software for application isolation and secure Web browsing . I consider a protective sandbox similar to a "raincoat" for ones browser wherever conditions online may seem cloudy with a chance of malware! In my experience, this magically scientific "reset button" tends to be more compatible with either I.E. or Mozilla (gecko) sourced browsers, although sandboxing is used for all our browsers indiscriminately. By the way, Sandbox-ie's (ie) originally referred to it's development due to Internet Explorer's vulnerabilities.
  
• Additionally (& for many, an indespensible program..) there is Shadow Defender. A wonderfully concise review by @cruelsister illustrates it's reliability in a comparison alongside another similar software, Timefreeze. Video Review - Shadow Defender vs TimeFreeze

I further endorse Zemana Antimalware for consideration as another on demand scanner to add to your preferred arsenal. We use it on all of our computers! This morning, my wife asked why it had been set to scan her Windows 7 lap top upon every startup! So, following this post, I am going to uncheck the box that schedules this.

For sharing & allowing me share,
Thank you!

@TrapperX
if most of the day/month/year your pc is static, and you don't install software DL from there original source you only need:
1>real time protection
1>exploit protection
1~2>on-demand scanner

Addtional:
Sandboxing
Light Virtualization
or Anti-ransomware(WinAntiRansom preferably) if you don't want Sandboxing or LT

Thanks for sharing!!!

I agree with Exterminator dumping SAS is a good idea.
Looks like a bit much, but it looks secure and it's his PC, so if hes' happy it works.
Nice config TrapperX.

I have to agree with the above. Have you tried sandboxie?
