I strongly recommend adding a second opinion scanner(s), examples: HitmanPro, Malwarebyes, EEK, and Zemana.
No need for both Ccleaner and WiseCare, I'd suggest to get rid of Ccleaner and just use WiseCare since you already have it.

Enable Smartscreen.
Probably do not need Keyscambler with Kaspersky TS.
Consider adding an on demand scanner(s).
Consider adding HTTPS Everywhere to Chrome.
I also agree that there is no need for both CCleaner & WiseCare.
Make sure CCleaner is updated to the most recent version if you have not done so already.
Secure Windows 10 Config! Thanks for sharing it with us :)

Smartscreen is vital, enable it.
You need an on-demand scanner, Malwarebytes is good.
Stick with CCleaner only and make sure you are on latest build and it's not 32 bit.
As a recommendation, but it's not that important, you may want to add a snapshot tool like Rollback Rx Home, it's free and you'll be able to restore a machine in faster time than a disk imager. You can keep Macrium, but Rollback will give you a bit more time in your day :)

@Trickster I agree with your recommendation. I have been a long time member and user of Windscribe VPN. I bought a lifetime license for this great VPN service a long time ago. I can say for a fact that this VPN is quite sophisticated compared to other alternatives on the market.

I would recommend that you add some on-demand scanners!

Examples: Malwarebytes, EEK, Malwarebytes JRT, AdwCleaner

Another great alternative you can add to your config is uBlock Origin, but Adguard is great as well.

Please use smartscreen - enable it as it is worth having on.

CCleaner and Wise Cleaner: both of these products are great, but both of them are not needed on your system. Personally, I would choose only one. If you choose CCleaner please update to the latest build as others have suggested.

Have you thought about adding HTTPS and NoScript to Chrome? Both of these are great for browser security.

Thanks for sharing your configuration!

Sincerely,

Lightning_Brian

Thanks for your replies. Smartscreen is set to "warn"

Will check out other recommendations.

Why SmartScreen disabled?

Add HTTPS Everywhere and ZAM Free.

Thanks for sharing.
