Your Config is marked "PC: At Risk" for testing malware samples on your host PC as well as OS Updates being disabled.
You should never test malware on your host PC.It should be done in a Virtual Environment(Virtual Machine such as VMware or Virtual Box)or a separate PC for testing purposes only.
Your at risk for not having OS updates enabled as important security updates for vulnerabilities are not installed.
These two issues should be addressed ASAP.
After that consider CCleaner or Privazer for privacy & optimization.
Consider some type of data and system back up solution.
Thanks for sharing your config :)

Of course
I have more than one device
one for test + vm and Shadow Defender and Sandbox
one for my work
for privacy
I can protect my files
Browsing and password etc. (yes i know CCleaner )
important security updates
i know (only for windows)
But sometimes there are many problems
I use update every 3 to 6 months (only for home)
for business (Always update)

Thank you for the conversation

You need to edit your config as there are 2 choices for testing malware
  • On your Host PC
  • Inside a Virtual machine
Testing malware on your host PC is never an option unless you are looking to infect your host machine

CryptoPrevent is useless if you have Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware Tool, good config btw!

> Layered by anti-everything
> UAC and Smartscreen disabled

I don't understand this. Highly recommend you set up your Windows built-in security before worrying about 3rd party.

He has UAC enabled with ESET Smart Security
Testing malware on your host PC and OS security updates disabled should be the first thing to take care of.

Done :)

l like Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware Tool for Business for network (ksn) + System watcher
CryptoPrevent for all malware.GEN


Good configuration?! Aren't you overlooking the core fundamentals of basic security practices?
Actually
High protection Why?
ESET Smart Security = The best protection ; for me
Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit = Protection form 0day Exploit ; soon I will delete Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit And I will install HitmanPro.Alert
CryptoPrevent = Protect form malware 50% to 70% (0 day malware) ; free
NoScript = Protect form xss and js malware ; free
Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware Tool for Business ; addition ;free
USB Disk Security ; It is a beautiful program ;free

High protection + no problems and no slow

Why SmartScreen disabled? Here a GUIDE to enable it.
Your config is a bit overkill, but all is covered.
Please follow suggestions above, also about backups.

Thanks for sharing.
