A 7 . Maybe a 6.5 . Still some things you could add to stiffen the security . Overall , not bad but , could certainly be stronger

No hardware firewall?

Add that and it's as good as what most people run in these forums.

Realtime, I don't see the need for anything else, apart from a firewall.

You may want to use another occasional ondemand scanner (a free one - don't go and pay for one that's only used for ondemand), but there's no need for any more real time protection than what you've listed.

Although backup has nothing to do with security, it's the backup/restore that will save your computer, if something really goes wrong. So don't neglect your backup !!!

C+ ? The computer language C+ as security software ?
It will take some time to program your own security setup, especially when you have to learn C+ first and how to program. ;D

I agree with Devil. In fact, you may already have a hardware firewall and just didn't meantion it. A lot of people forget about that since it's not "with" the computer. An free "on-demand" scan at Housecall or McAfee would be a good idea as well every week or so.

Sorry for misunderstanding. I'm not really familiar with American gradings.
It couldn't be a C-cup, so I thought it was a computer language.
Very funny confusion ;D
