Thanks for sharing your config! :)

I've got two problems with it. First and most importantly, enable UAC. It adds a nice extra layer to your protection, with minimal annoyance. Here's a great article about its importance: http://www.7tutorials.com/uac-why-you-should-never-turn-it-off

Second, Spybot. It was the go-to second opinion scanner years ago, but it's getting obsolete and outdated and unable to keep up with current threats. Get Malwarebytes and/or HitmanPro instead. :)

Thank you for the tips! I'll uninstall Spybot and install Malwarebytes right now! :)

Enable UAC.

Well, I am accustomed on using UAV disabled, but I will review it, thank you!

Add Some Extension:
  • WOT
  • DoNotTrackMe
  • AdBlocker - AdGaurd
  • LastPass

Your if you want them add them, but good bunch extension.

Actually, I already use AdBlock, but I have forgot to put it on the list. I will search for the others. Thanks!

Your OS = Win8 or Win8.1 ?

Windows 8 = Please migrate to Windows 8.1 (Windows Store)
Windows 8.1 = Please migrate to Windows 8.1 Update 1 (Windows Update)

I tought about updating my OS, but some softwares do not work properly there.

Yeap, you should enable UAC. You might also wanna add HitmanPro and Emsisoft Emergency Kit. :) And also, Norton DNS. :D

I will take a look later, thank you, sir!

nice one, as said earlier, enable UAC.

Adblock is heavy; use Adguard, µblock or Adblock edge instead

Definitely enable UAC.Very Nice config,thanks for sharing it :)

I really think I have a lot of defenders on my computer: Malwarebytes, avast! and Zemana Antilogger. Don't you guys think it's enough? I'm really reluctant about that, hehe! (I don't like those confirmation messages all the time!)

I found your previous config thread and merged the new and old, just updated the custom fields with the new details.

Even though 90% of the time you'll never see it, what do think of Windows Smartscreen?
