You could probably ditch SmadAV.
Which AV are you using and why did you choose this one ??

AVG free with the hardened mode ON is just so good that you don't really need anything else

Overkill! Ditch smadav or whatever it's called.

True...
However, not every one of my units has it. My desktop at the office and one of my laptops at home have all 3; SMADAV primarily focuses on USB drive infection and cleaning. While my other units only have MD and CL.

You may enable USB protection in MS Defender via ASR rule. VoodooShield also protects the USB by default in Smart and Always On modes if you haven't disabled it.

By default, MD and CL protects the USB; I am just a little lazy when it comes to USB infections, particularly those that conceal all files.

CruelComodo + ConfigureDefender (High)
wondering whether adding WHHLight would be overkill?

The addition of WHHL will work with CCF, even Hard_Configurator works with it but it's not needed with CCF installed and people will advise it as overkill.

Hi, I use Comodo Firewall (configuration recommended by CruelSister) combined with Symantec Endpoint Protection unmanaged (only antivirus module and proactive protection, with some modifications that I think are more effective in protection). I use this combination because it is free and although I am not an expert in the field, I think they provide decent protection for a home user.

I understand, most models know nothing about security software, BUT they have great taste in clothes, cologne, and cars.

Eset Smart Security Premium + Cyberlock 7.81
I tried the free Trial of Eset, used it for almost the entire period, liked how light it is on my machine and how its done in tests, plus all the "bells and whistles"
then i decided to finally purchase a license to Cyberlock (ive always liked it)
