What exactly is anti-exploit supposed to do? Pardon my ignorance, I'm a bit of a novice.
For a good explanation see here as i am not good with words. Exploit (computer security) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove Ashampoo WinOptimizer and blur and switch to better alternatives such as tweaking.com's simple s/m tweaker and LastPass. If you use blur only to remove trackers then its ok. Is it norton total security or Norton IS?
Norton Security and i will be Keeping Ashampoo Winoptimizer thanks very much. ;)

Very good config. Crazy that Norton in late 2014 was so badly looked at now so many are saying it's great. Heck even I look at it and rolled my eyes a few years ago. What they have done now is a complete 180. One of the most modern vendors out there (and only improve since a year ago).

Your real time is strong, light, balanced, and should not conflict. Your on demand are all very reliable at removal and detection. Two backup programs are better than one. Helps that both are very reliable in backup/restore. Personally I love Macrium's ability to add boot option (which can also repair system) all for the low price of free. Even if you have multi-boot system (like Windows/Linux combo) it will still function correctly - something other tools can not do. I noticed that Macrium can most of the time keep the grub boot loader (which also boots Windows when dual booting) for Linux intact as long as you backup whole drive while Linux was installed.

Liking the rest of your config (even those that don't pertain to security). Hoping CCleaner will support Vivaldi (and Slimjet, Cent Browser, etc). I have a habit of using CCleaner/built in browser cleanup every time I close a browser so I guess it don't matter. Then again, CCEnhancer might already add support for them.
