Good configuration, in my opinion Bitdefender IS can leave it alone since its a suite and covers everything.

On some case Bitdefender IS and Emsisoft can go well so its ok.

TBH they didnt go well together at first, as you might know bitdefender doesnt like it at all when you have any other security related software installed even if they are not running or have any real-time scanners. in fact they wont even give you any support if they see anything else installed in the logs.
but after few restarts and figuring out the order in which installations should take place i made it all works just fine.

Nice setup! Have you got any backup options?
i have tried EASEUS free, Paragon free & advance free but i never liked any of them.i actually never needed to use a backup in my years of using windows. it was always either a new installation like when i bought a new pc/laptop or repairing using other methods.
anyway even though i never really liked other products im using built-in backup of win7. daily incremental's and once a month or every other, a system image.

Great, if you keep doing the backups, you will be set to go :) Nice config.

-i uninstalled sandboxie after a month, too much performance sacrifice.
-i am using drop my rights though, forgot to mention it. using it to run chrome mainly.
-i have thought about chromium itself or comodo dragon but never seen any review or comparison, though i know that chromium doesnt have inside sandboxing like chrome does. not sure about comodo dragon.
-dont know what autodelete is but im guessing its history cleaner, if true i like to do that manually usualy ;)

Looks good to me.......So you didn't encounter any problems while running BIS 2012 with EAM 6?I'm asking because I know that BIS and EAM both have very strong and sensitives behavior blockers....
How's this combo on the system impact?

at first successful try my big file transfer got really slow so i made these changes:
-added all the running process's of each suite in the other's exclusion list.
-set bitdefender to not scan network shares and also only scan new and changed files,archived files under 5 MB
-in bitdefender also disabled auto scanning of USB drives and cd/dvd (i always do it but manually)
-in EAM i set it to only scan based on extensions and only when being written or modified and disabled protection when user not logged in (i realized not setting these 2 in EAM can cause major performance issue when using with BIS). so with these i set EAM to do a full system scan once a week.

without these settings file transfer are a pain but this way all is good and speed is also fine specially after a whole system scan with both and let them run for a week.

Actually after few days AVG started to slow my computer alot (bitdefender didnt have this issue but eventually stopped working cause they cant make quality products) thats why i removed AVG AV and tried Bullguard but slowdows as well then tried Kaspersky AV and im impressed with how well this setup is doing. KAV didnt add any slowdowns at all and no warnings during setup while having comodo,eam,zemana installed. they have improved by ALOT.
already ordered a license and i will update my setup status ;)

Out of all the real-time protection which ONE product would you rely on the most?

oh thats easy to spot actually, with all the changes i made in the past 6 month one thing was always there! Emsisoft!
if i could only efford one i would choose EAM. the reason why i wanted to have another AV was simply because ive noticed in the past few month that the only samples eam miss's are detected by either kaspersky or bitdefender which is included in gdata and bullguard and f-secure.
bitdefender itself doesnt work with my other softwares and been a gdata user before, not that better than bitdefender so gave bullguard a try and rest on...

Good config. Why not drop WOT. Very solid setup. Remove Zemena kaspersky's proactive defense is enough.
