You've mixed up some of your Realtime and On-Demand tools? ZoneAlarm Firewall should be Realtime protection.

Microsoft Security Essentials succeeds Windows Defender, therefore Windows Defender can be uninstalled/disabled.

Kompas Antivirus isn't that good. ClamWin isn't worth much if you have an Antivirus already.

Recommended to run 1 antivirus only; MSE or Avast. Not both, else conflicts may occur.

And Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free is a better on-demand scanner. No need to pirate for Pro version. 666

I use Kompas because it's good to detect Indonesian local virus, as it's made from Indonesia and the maker of kompas also my friend.

I use ClamWin because it's free and open-source on-demand scanner, but thanks i will think to switch to MBAM Free or Pro

Windows Defender are came with my "Windows XP" CD and thanks, I already disabled them.

I never have conflicts with Avast And MSE within 2 years so It's not a problem.

ZoneAlarm? Thanks i already fix the post.

Clamwin has got really poor detection rate. It sometimes fails to detected few months malware.

Why you dont use Smadav or PCMAV?

Thanks for your suggestion, I will switch to MBAM. "DOWNLOADING..."
Oh god, my connection is slow as turtle.

Why you dont use Smadav or PCMAV?

Smadav was very bad solution with Small list of database and failed to fight with Sality and Ramnit.
PCMAV was slow as hell, but I use the Express program such us PCMAV Express for Ramnit.

and are you from Indonesia?

I'm from Indonesia, If you visited http://forum.virusindonesia.com you know me from my nickname this forum.
You must use PCMAV 9.2, more faster than before version.

@indra11tng

That's mean i need to buy a new magazine

 

[BSOD]

Overkill. Do you even NEED those many applications?

My opinion:
Real-time: MSE OR Avast!
On-demand: MBAM Free
Firewall: ZoneAlarm Free
Others: CCleaner, Sandboxie

check this out: http://malwaretips.com/Thread-Guide-to-free-security-for-novices

@BSOD

YES, a high level security that kill my PC !

MSE or Avast! : what do you think better?
MBAM Free : Downloaded, I think the program wasn't enough without Threatfire!
Firewall : Since ZoneAlarm Firewall Plus discontinued, thanks i will switch to ZoneAlarm Free

UPDATED!

 

[King Alpha]

If I were you I will choose avast!. What version of Threatfire are you using by the way?

 

[xpressive]

@King Mellow
Thanks, I will change to avast!

[technology]

why you are using Microsoft Security Essential, Threatfire (CyberHawk), Avast Free together? (many security programs don't mean it will keep you safer)
I suggest to change them with Bitdefender AV FREE, its better in protection and light on system ( I don't recommend avast )
also u can use comodo firewall,
(try to choose the best with low impact on system)

 

[xpressive]

@technology
Bitdefender AV free just provide scanner only, virus Guard are not real-time-protection system.
MSE is actually disabled, switched to Avast.
Threatfire is not AntiVirus, it's a zero-day threat protections. protect from all malicious activity.

 

[King Alpha]

You can also try CIS. It's very light on system.

BDAV free its real time protection anti-virus with Behavior blocker and web protection
CFW have many feature its not just firewall it have cloud protection+visualization+HIPS to protect you from zero-day threat
In my openion BDAVfree + cfw will be very effective, simple and light on system resources
also i suggest you to use password manager "lastpass extension" with firefox

and just FYI: Norton DNS is better in blocking malicious sites
Open DNS is better in blocking phishing sites

@technology
Thanks, looking forward to BDAV.
Comodo FireWall? Downloading...
lastpass? Added.
what is the dns of Norton, i want to try

@King Mellow
Thanks looking forward to it.

Heads up, Bitdefender products have Anonymous usage reports enabled by default.

@Earth
Is there anyway to disable them?
