Uhm, I am not sure if i should include Razer Game Booster at the category of "List of other software". Any suggestions to boost my security please share it with me, I would be really grateful. Thank you.

Hi etzio. Thank you for sharing your configuration.
Your UAC (User Account Control) is an important fail safe. By setting UAC set (at least) to default "Notify when programs make changes to system", you can prevent changes which might occur otherwise unnoticed. "Always notify", the maximum setting, will also include alerts set to warn before you (in addition to programs) allow changes made to the system.
To access UAC

1. Swipe the right side of your screen.
   
2. Choose search
   
3. Type: UAC
   
4. Select "Change User Account Control Settings"
5. Choose either Default "Notify when programs make changes..." or you may select Maximum "Always notify...when programs or you make changes to the system"

@Cats-4_Owners-2 I changed my UAC to max. Thanks for the info.

If you have enough common sense, Default will do it. UAC on the max will alert for lots of legitimate apps and won't block every malicious file you run. Kind of annoying. But that's just me.

You should implement some backup/image tool (O&O DiskImage - my personal choice). Revo Uninstaller is the only solution for uninstalling software you should ever use.
