Help Deciding On Additional Layers Without Weighing Me Down

In my sig is my present setup. I would possibly like to add some type of firewall or possibly antivirus but do not want to weighed down as far as slowdowns on my laptop, Thinkpad T400 P8600 processor. Also, if possible, would loike to avoid subscription software but will consider it. Tried CIS 5.10 but it seemed to slow down my machine somewhat.

Right now though I am thinkiing about just trying Comodo FW and possibly Avast! 7 Free. Other than this, could you give me some input about what could be added that is relatively lightweight in resources and thanks.

I heard somewhere that Avast and Comodo Fw recently had stability problems together?
You can try Panda Cloud and Windows firewall for super lite protection

 

you have AppGuard just add malwarebytes pro and you are set to go

 

Thanks and I have MBAM Pro already but still just wondering if I need anything to prevent some types of outbound conneciton attempts?

if you dont have malware in then nothing to connect out but you can add a firewall

 

I think it's pretty good as it is now.

 

hey huntnyc,
we have very simular setups,running very light here for past few months.
i have MBAM and hitman pro on demand scans only.
nice and secure

 

You have nice, light setup. I wouldn't add anything. Most AVs an FWs would slow down your system and wouldn't give you much additional protection.

 

stick to your current setup......no need to add anything else.....it's light and strong.....

 

Yeah, anything else would be bloat.
