Avast & Avira for on demand scanners? Either Avast free or Avira Free would serve as real time protection.
Examples of on demand scanners:
Zemana Antimalware free
ESET Online Scanner
Malwarebytes Antimalware
Hitman Pro
Emsisoft Emergency Kit
Consider uBlock Origin in place of ABD and HTTPS Everywhere in Chrome
Consider an additional browser as a back up
Consider some type of system back up solution
Thanks for sharing your config :)

Remove either Avast or Avaria (I prefer to keep Avast as its tweaked settings can be quite formidable against viruses) Also I highly recommend adding Zemana Anti-Malware for scanning. :)

Thanks for sharing your security configuration with us, here are my suggestions to better secure your system:
- Remove either Avast or Avira and enable real-time protection on the one you kept on your system. If you keep Avast, I suggest looking at this thread for advice on how to tweak Avast for maximum protection: https://malwaretips.com/threads/how...rity-2016-for-maximum-protection-guide.59880/
- Download 1-2 on-demand scanners such as Malwarebytes AntiMalware, Zemana AntiMalware and Crystal Security.
- Change out Adblock for uBlock Origin or Adguard (Not overly important, but uBlock Origin and Adguard are much lighter and have many more features than Adblock and Adblock Plus).
- Find a backup solution such as Macrium Reflect.

@Andnopo: Are you sure that no Antivirus is installed on your computer?

Likely you may made typo error on placing the category functions; because Windows Defender is your default AV automatically.
