Yes, I agree. But my current situation prevents me from having one separate data backup. But of course, I will have an external backup in the future, for sure.Thanks for posting it
Well covered configuration, I think everything is good, maybe a separate data backup would be useful, but if you plan frequent system images, they probably also contain these data.
Yes, I admit that keeping those three realtime protection is a bit overkill. Personally, AppGuard would be enough.No denying that this is fool-proof security setup alongside backup.
I have a question, wouldn't KIS+AppGuard+HMPA be a slight overkill?
KIS and AppGuard are already top-notch solutions of two different kinds for a 360 protection. Maybe HMPA can be kept limited to some of its unique offerings? You must be having some reason for keeping this one
great explanation. I like your approach.Yes, I admit that keeping those three realtime protection is a bit overkill. Personally, AppGuard would be enough.
But I decided to keep the three to cover the two stages of protection. First stage is the pre-execution protection. And the second stage is the post-execution protection. AppGuard and Kaspersky would deal with the first stage. AppGuard, Kaspersky, and HMP.A would deal with the second stage. There is a third stage, which is the post-infection remediation, which Macrium Reflect covers.
I'm not an expert at determining whether a file is malicious, so a help for post-execution is needed. Yes, I know the obvious things about malware. But, I'm not adept at dealing with the unknowns. This is why I use Kaspersky and HMP.A to monitor and block any malicious software I might run manually.
I also believe that HMP.A has a superior anti-exploit protection than Kaspersky's. So, even though Kaspersky has its own anti-exploit module, I decided to keep HitmanPro.Alert.
In the end, though, AppGuard is enough to protect me, and the other two are just there for post-execution monitoring.
Fantastic!Yes, I admit that keeping those three realtime protection is a bit overkill. Personally, AppGuard would be enough.

Fantastic!
Let me inform you that I haven't tried AppGuard since I wasn't on the roads when that stuff was happening. Yet I've learnt about it from the testers and the dev here. Can't say how compatible it is with the other two combined, but the other two fare well together.
As you mentioned about the levels, they are justified and pretty solid
When you said HMPA is causing problem to MS updates are you referring to auto updates or manual updates?Update!
Removed: HitmanPro.Alert
Changed: KIS 2017 to KIS 2018
This change happened months ago. I just didn't update the thread.
I removed HMP.A because of failed MS updates and an incompatibility problem with an application. I used the Beta version, by the way.
I upgraded KIS 2017 to KIS 2018 because, well, I just wanted to, and it's cool.
I think it's the auto updates. But maybe it's both.
