Thanks for posting your config! I'd recommend using something that's actually real-time to protect your computer. Avast free & 360 Total Security Essential are great in that regard.Everything else seems to be covered. From personal experience, µblock is better that Adblock because it does the same job while consuming less resources. Have a nice day!

As for privacy software you can add CCleaner if you are not using it already.
As for ublock i agree with Paul Lee it does a very good job and it's much lighter than ADP, in my browser i don't have any slowdown and i don't even notice it's there.
Thanks for sharing your config.

Likely add a realtime Protection AV like Avast, Avira, Qihoo or AVG for free version since its totally a good configuration, MBAM is only a complement program and differs on ability to detect majority of threats.
Optional extension: Lastpass to store passwords securely especially if doing multi logins.

Thank you for sharing your configuration with us, @anniyan. Like yourself, I also use portable browsers a good portion of the time, and use portable versions of CCleaner & PriVazer.
I agree with advice our member/friends have already imparted, and use Avast! as the realtime AV on our Windows 8.1 system. A personal favorite we have used on Windows 7 SP 1 was ESET NOD 32 8 together with Windows Firewall. Although it is a paid AV, we have (2) days until the end of a 30 day trial of Kaspersky IS expires. Therefore I have prepared to test drive ESET Smart Security 8, an security suite, that includes firewall protection. As most paid AVs you can try it for 30 days without obligation, and download from here:
ESET NOD 32, if you'd prefer trying the AV w/o firewall & Child safety features:
For added browsing privacy using Firefox,
On the page (to the right) you'll find reviews, posted & videos, & a list of tutorials.
Edit: As you asked whether ABP was compatible with uBlock, they are (in fact) comparable. So, choose one or the other, so as to allow your system to perform efficiently. If, as I suspect, it was simply a subtle nuance stated between similar words, and you do plan on using only one, that is great! By the way, uBlock is preferred on our system browsers (here in our home) 2 to 1 now that it's available for Firefox.
Thanks!

For some extra privacy you could have a look at Privazer which is very thorough.

firstly thanks to all for the helpful advices. i will add a realtime protection AV; i am considering Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition, since it has higher detection rate than others as per PCMAG reviews. is this ok? also i read in reviews that panda free AV has also high detection, so i am also considering panda free AV [http://www.pandasecurity.com/usa/homeusers/solutions/free-antivirus/]; also how is this different from the panda free cloud AV [http://www.cloudantivirus.com/en/forHome/] ? your valuable thoughts on these, please?
also i will add privazer and sandboxie too.
@jamescv7, i already have lastpass; it is an indispensable tool for me. thank you

Actually if I'm not mistaken then it varies on cloud functionality, Panda Free AV is incorporate with their Cloud Enhanced therefore it takes balance through traditional signatures, meanwhile Panda Free Cloud AV its main component is through cloud alongside of behavior analysis to check the reputation of file.
Just pick one and their protection capabilities are literally same as possible.
Bitdefender Free is also good, very simple configuration and its all through Cloud functionality too.
