Lets talk Security and Optimizations

I actually don't run any real time scanners. Ill run hitman pro or malwarebytes on occasion to make sure I'm still clean, and then CCleaner to scrub the registry and temp files. Probably not the safest way to go but I can't stand slowing my system down with an AV lol
Adwcleaner is awesome for cleaning out browser junk.

I do the exact same thing. I hate having Malwarebytes pop up every 2 seconds saying Buy our shit that you can just uninstall and re install every 30 days and have the same thing without paying a dime. I actually like the malwarebytes rootkit a bit more than just regular malwarebytes. But as long as you know what you are installing and constantly check your pc stats for programs running you really shouldnt have a problem. I tell people that and they look at me strange because of all the crap they get on their pc's and im just like you dont know how to use a pc and hit install every time something tells you to.
