@a1nn:
  • Consider also to run manual backups of important data to external devices
  • As for "Virus and Malware Removal Tools", You may add: ZAM Free, EmsiSoft Emergengy Kit.
  • Yes, so many browser extensions :eek:
Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, thanks for sharing :giggle:
 
My 2 cents: Simple is better.

I agree with @stefanos > too many extensions. Also, too many filters in µBO and you don't really need OSA since you have Norton Deluxe. Let the suite do its thing.

Filter suggestions:

Default (but no EasyList)
Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list
Adblock Warning Removal List
Malvertising filter list by Disconnect (only malware list needed)
https://www.squidblacklist.org/downloads/dg-ads.acl (This and Malvertising replace EasyList)
NoCoin Filter List


Stay safe, not paranoid! (y):)
 
This setup is certainly in the grey area of overkill, in extensions I would certainly remove Norton Safe Web, I also think "Zemana Anti-Malware Premium" is a waist of money if you already have a Norton license. Most suites are designed to cover most security areas one would face on a daily basis.

Other than the above, thanks for sharing.
