    -MS Security Essentials(on demand only)
    -Rootkit Unhooker Beta release from kernelmode dot info OR Avast beta ARK and SanityCheck for x64
    -Sandboxie+BSA+Custom-DLL occasionally

    I basically use products all the AV vendors wish their engineers had talent to write..oh and MSSE because it's a free+updated sig-scanner even with a HIPS that rivals paid ones like SONAR2 etc..

    Remove all on-demand scanners except for Hitman Pro and Malwarebytes Antimalware. Have faith in them; they are far more than good enough when used combined.

    I do agree, I did actually remove all on-demand scanners since I have faith in Windows 7, ESET and my behavior (safe surfing/avoid risk, always being up-to-date).

    Shadow Defender is good if you're planning on testing sketchy software. Bare in mind that Shadow Defender is not actively devoloped anymore, although a recent version was released two weeks ago. The latest version is, by the looks of it, suspicious and may containt hidden malware. Be sure to download version .325.

    Yeah, have faith in your own user behavior and that your layered setup will protect you. You don't need 5 layers if you're aware of what risks some sites expose you to. You're going to be fine with a decent AV, a good on-demand scanner, updated Windows components along with common sense.

    Most people at Wilders have more security than a top-secret nuclear silo.

    Yah, agreed. It would be interesting to know if those overdone layered setups we do see a lot in this thread actually ever caught or prevented some threat.
    In fact my ESET hasn't taken action in the past two years. I would feel perfectly safe with the combination of Windows and my behavior. The only reason I do actually use it is because I like it and I want to support them.
