    I am looking for advice as I had to remove KIS 2017. The problems I had with it are many.

    Web Antivirus - cause too many slow downs for normal browsing. URL were taking too long to open while it checked the site
    Firewall - it keeps blocking apps and I run a lot of custom apps I would be forever to manually edit ports all day. It just wont ask me to allow or deny.
    Private Browsing - again slows down normal browsing
    Anti-Banner - slows down page loading
    System watcher - keeps deleting apps or terminating them. Never asks how I want it to be handled? What kind of security software does not give a prompt as an action choice?
    Application Manager - slows down processes like batch scripts

    I can not believe the software no longer asks how you want to handle a possible malware or that. So I am looking for a good alternative.. BTW I have been the victim of hacking due to my digital coin mining so I definitely need something with HIPS for security. currently only running Windows Firewall and Windows Defender due to the above issues.

    Maybe I will need to run a specialized firewall and malware package instead. I really need some advice on the best setup for me.

    Thanks.
