    If your setup is configured like this, then you're good.

    Um, me? NEVER!

    You must have misinterpreted my previous post advising Firebolt059 on his setup. I revised it a little, so that the same mistake won't be done twice. :D

    A-squared Free and Advanced SystemCare don't have resident scanners. I see too many Antivirus and Antispyware combination in your list, WOW!

    I would, in my personal opinion, drop IObit Security 360, Microsoft Security Essentials, and turn off Comodo's AV while replacing that with Avast 5 Free or even Avira Free.

    I'm running Avira+Threatfire also. Any noticeable performance difference with Geswall added? Also how is Geswall on memory use?

    Thanks.
