I like the setup, but why now just use Windows 8 Defender, the Windows Firewall and the rest of Windows 8 features?

I think you're correct, something along those lines.

I don't have UEFI either, because my laptops from 2008, nor do I have a need for SecureBoot.

Windows SmartScreen is nice touch to the OS, but I wish it has a Stats UI to see App Ratings etc, but I don't think MS would release that info for public viewing.

DuckDuckGo.com has MyWOT web-ratings per search, enable it via the Settings. You can also save your settings to the cloud with a long non guessable pass code (use LastPass or similar to save it).

Why using Webroot when you are already secured enough by AG and ERP?
In this case built-in Windows Defender is more than enough ;)

I know i am protected with AG+NVTERP+SBIE but i like Webroot's Identity Protection :) As a matter of fact nowadays i dont use Webroot very often because of Memory leak in Explorer.exe which causes it to use 300 MB of RAM. i feel confided without an AV :)

Of all the Imaging software i used Shadow protect Recovery Environment is the fastest without any doubt........:):) But Terabyte Unlimited Image for Windows is the most supported and stable one... Hats off to its developer :)

Its been two days Rollback Rx is still going smooth no problems yet.
To avoid a critical error in event log (showing that windows was not shut down properly) after you restore a snapshot other than Baseline do as i say restart the system and when rollback menu comes press home from that menu create a snapshot..... (this is applicable to all imaging software i guess if you make a Hot image (from within OS) when you restore that image you will get that critical error in event viewer)
