I did exclusions in Kaspersky Free for Comodo Firewall and in Comodo Firewall for Kaspersky Free
I made scheduled scans and cleanings for HitmenPro, Wise Disk Cleaner, PrivaZer

In the HitmanPro settings I set Show Scan with HitmanPro for files and folders in Windows Explorer

Thanks in advance for your feedback

BitLocker with No login security makes no sense, since it is supposed to protect you from local attacks?
Password manager - Paper and Pen. I hope that you are at least using an invisible ink or lemon juice.

I have two hard drives, the second one I use for backup and I protect it with bitlocker.
I put the paper with the password in the safe that has the code

Because I need stronger protection against ads and also use Brave Shield, which is set to aggressive.
uBlock Origin have online malicius URL Blocklist
Do you still see ads while using Brave's Shields?
You can add custom filterlists to Shields as well.

Consider changing your DNS from Comodo to NextDNS, ControlD or Adguard if you want malware, ads and tracking protection.
OK
In Network & Internet settings I set NextDNS in Firefox and Brave settings I use CloudflareDNS

Brave blocks ads, but in some situations I have to click x to close the blocked ads
So I prefer Brave shields + uBlock Origin no ads
That's weird. Can you share your Shields config including filterslists so we can take a look at it?
Normally Shields set to Agressive should block all kinds of ads.
