zer0ne Config - Safe & Speed

[zer0ne]

Oh, come on...

I just have well optimized system, you don't.

look your system 60-70% but you not have only 2gb ram i say all of tham if you have 2gb

Do you see my specs? At this moment I am testing Emsisoft anti-Malware, ZAL Premium, Vodooshield, GlassWire, and Firefox open. As you can see I don't have problems, I only use CCleaner without useless system optimizers.

you have more than 2gb ram and your system is 32bit, are you used all of tham software on realtime or on-demand

Thanks for sharing

Wise system monitoring is about system processes and hardware information like temperature and memory usage, etc.but you cannot consider it as part of the security real time protection (protect registry?).
Zemana can be used or not, but it is wrong to say that it is not necessary because of Webroot.

WiseCare System Protection is nice tool and very very light, tested you do like it

to be honest 1Gb on a desktop is >>> than 2Gb in a laptop. I have a desktop with on 1Gb ram, i3 but it works better than 4Gb ram, i5 laptop. btw your CPU usage of firefox is unexceptable. You should do something to bring it down

@zer0ne I suggest you to disable everything except webroot, also disable WD priodic scanning because the detection rate of WD is not great and it is a waste of resources
btw, you should add voodooshield free in autopilot mode -> it works better than zemana realtime IMO and it can protect your from more sophisticated malwares while normal AVs cannot

In summary these are the advice/suggestion I could:

1) If you want a very secure desktop: One Security Suite w/ firewall. Webroot security suite by itself is already good enough.
2) If you want a light desktop but secure: Win 10 SRP + Bitlocker + UAC + WD + WFC. All of them are built-in inside Window 10 Pro. Only WFC isn't.
3) Try to avoid surfing crack/warez site. You have no idea what they are and high likelihood to get infected. Why take the risk?
4) Do not be so over confident that security soft are able to protect you. They're just 2nd line of def. The first line of def is you yourself/your surfing behaviour..

Don't take it seriously, I was running a Messenger site which is damn heavy, also Youtube video was loading Anyway, I have sooo old CPU (Athlon X2 4200) so it's completely normal situation

Hi @zer0ne
My System is an ASUS X58L. (Genuine Intel(R) CPU 575 @ 2.00GHz & 2.0GB RAM.)
I would not be too concerned with any possible slowdown from employing the software that others recommend.
I configure lots of security software to work together on my system for fun..
.. and I run ZoneAlarm Firewall, Sandboxie, Shadow Defender, VoodooShield, AppGuard, SpyShelter Premium, Avast Antivirus, Crystal Security, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium, Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Free, Process Lasso, and Glasswire Free all in Realtime ... and my system runs fine.

A few years ago I would use system optimisation software but to be honest I found them to be quite useless.
I now only use CCleaner and Auslogics Disk Defrag as utilities.
If you are still worried about system space and performance then I recommend (If you feel comfortable doing so) removing some of the Microsoft "bloatware" and even killing unneeded system services as these can make a massive difference.

You should have plenty of system resources to run numerous realtime security products..

a little bit off topic but MOD please dont delete this
Add h264ify extension to your firefox. You will see firefox while playing youtube has much much lower CPU
btw firefox has a problem with facebook which causes constantly high CPU usage without doing anything (maybe because of KIS). I switched to waterfox and the problem was solved. Recommend to try it. I can't use firefox

@zer0ne

My system is 64 bit and I have 4GB RAM like you, indeed my processor is 1.8 GHz and all my software in real time.

WiseCare System Protection is nice tool and very very light, tested you do like it

I have seen and no doubt it's a nice tool, that's a new feature, an interactive control of registry access.
BTW it is similar to the warning of Qihoo, well, so the antivirus tries to be like a system optimizer (boosting module of Qihoo TS), and the optimizer (Wise Care) tries to make the "antivirus"...
It is easy to think that chinese companies share part of the code between them.
No problem but I'm of the old school and each product must do just its job.

However, this does not affect my previous comment, I don't consider Wise Care as a safety product in spite of this function, so it may not be part of real time malware protection.
Protection of the registry or similar features must be part of a comprehensive and multi-layer security tool and Wise Care is not.

This is my new configuration on my laptop

Thanks for sharing, looks good!

Nice to see you are using UAC and SmartScreen!

BTW Shadow Defender isn't an on-demand scanner but I do understand what you meant. I would remove one of the on-demand scanners though since I don't think 4 is necessary, 3 at max IMO but it's up to you.

I recommend you create a backup and you can do this for free with Paragon Backup & Recovery (free version of course).

One last thing: you made a typo, it's uBlock and not uBloxk

I thought people had got it by now:no registry Cleaners,the registry is the "brain" on your system

 

[Evjl's Rain]

there is no point to use Kaspersky AV with webroot. It's a waste of resource and they potentially conflict each other
KAV and zemana are enough
