RE: Malware Maniac Security Configuration
On third party updater you can try some alternative like Filehippo Updater or Secunia PSI but overall CNET TechTracker is fine.

For backup there are some free backup option around there. You can try Macrium Reflect it has a free version.

Any other extensions or add-ons on the other web browser, do they serve you a particular purpose?

No the other browsers don't serve a particular purpose I just have them there for a backup or if one can do what another can't. Although Safari doesn't serve a purpose. sssssooooo... I'm going to remove it.

your best change in my opinion was the switch from Anvisoft to Kingsoft.

Any particular reason for MSE?

IMHO Avast has more protection then MSE, why did you change?
