RE: Updated Config 15-1-2013

That's why I don't have any program like that installed. I prefer to check the FileHippo site at least once a day to check if there are any updates available.

RE: Updated Config 15-1-2013

The developer itself even before claimed on a adware bundled through their installation.

And you may consider next time to install their lite version where no adware bundled. ;)

RE: Updated Config 15-1-2013

Edit : Removed AVG Internet Security and Zemana Anti Logger , replaced with : Comodo Internet Security.....

p.s. I have a spare Fsecure Internet Security 2013 , tried it for 1 day , but i stalled my system to a crawl....its still valid for 364 days , so if anyone needs it PM me ( first come first serve ) , its a shame to let this license go to waste!

Sometimes its really awful when those some paid products tends to have irregularities from the system and the license is valid for a year or so which refunding is a bit main issue.

Removed C.i.s. replaced it with Microsoft Security Essentials and Zemana Anti Logger. Like the idea that earth has : straight forward and simple! Never download any warez or cracks and have the same cycle of sites that I visit every day , so I do not see any need for a bloated security suite anymore. together with spywareblaster and emet set to max , In have everything covered :)

You may likely hardened Windows Firewall with Advance Security or add like Tinywall or Windows Firewall Control, just configure properly to avoid problems.

thank you for your tips james , but I have tried wfc and tinywall before : the both seem to mess up my internet connection , when I install / uninstall....so I have installed zonealarm free instead to keep the config simple.

added : zonealarm free firewall
removed : wisecare 365
added : iobit advanced system care pro and iobit smart defrag

They are really an issue thus need to build your own rules in order to operate from whitelist.

Since they are set from medium protection with possibility of block connection.

Anyway Zonealarm is fine at your setup since its a pure firewall.

Thanks guys for your feedback! very much apreciated! I like the combo mse - zemana - zonealarm , so far , to keep things simple. my girlfriend also uses the computer and she complained about the popups some hips / b.b. give , when I am not around she does not know what to answer. so thats the main reason for this simple setup :)

the back up is qiute convenient , but the tuningservices are basic ( reg clean , basic temp file clean ) the backup process and optimizing start automatically after completing a full system scan.
