Nice configuration, why not try windows firewall.
avast! new user interface is annoying, there are always promoting there high end product and there new system tuning feature which is something i believe is worthless.
A security company should concentrate on the new security technologies instead of wasting time on system tuning, but i would surely say there is no good free alternative of avast.

Nice config. Nothing really to add. Everything is covered.

thank you for your suggestion I am not feeling all to secure with just windows firewall , zonealarm is easy to understand. although it is not the best. the combo of avast and zonealarm works nice and light. I did not see any upgrade popups from avast yet in the near duture I might buy a security suite but I am not sure about this though.

I like your configuration...I also use ZoneAlarm, Avast!, and uBlock Origin...
You will want to put ZoneAlarm & Avast in the "Real time malware protection" section instead of the "on demand" section.
The "on demand" is for software such as the free version of Malwarebytes anti malware..that does not offer "real time" protection but can be used to scan your system manually.
You may not need popup blocker pro if you already have uBlock origin...
Thank you for sharing your config with us

Nice config but you can considering changing your firewall to the built-in Windows Firewall which is more than enough, especially if you're behind the router.

Looks pretty good. I recommend you change your title to "Trickster's Security Config in order to follow the rules and make it less confusing for other new members. @MrExplorer there is a custom installation so you can just have the protection features, not adding the system tuneup and that will help give less ads.

 

[FrFc1908]

will aply the recommendations by both of you gentlemen

Whats your browser again? Sorry I cannot understand on the config. You should edit

 

[FrFc1908]

hello yigido I use chrome primarely , sometimes firefox and least of all edge

What settings you use for uBlock Origin ?

 

[FrFc1908]

do you mean the filters I have enabled?

 

[NullByte]

Yes and how it works with Privacy Badger ?

 

[FrFc1908]

first off : the two work fine together , I do not experience any slowdownd / crashes or freezes / laggs. my filters :

* adblock warning removal list
* anti adblock killer
* fanboys enhanced tracking list
* malware domains list
* malware domains
* spam 404

edit : like this app had used the free version of adfender for some time but it did not block all ads. I did not want to upgrade to their premium version , ublock does all for free

 

[NullByte]

I had some issues in the past, that's why I asked and Yes! uBlock it's the best ad-blocker you can get.

 

[FrFc1908]

maybe they ironed out some incompatebillity bugs , or maybe the interaction between the two just differs on my or your machine. I like ublock , but some popups and popunders remain , thats where popupblocker pro steps in
