Great configuration! Got nothing to add...
Do you use any backup solution?

 

[YuanJiawj]

A Solid and great config, maybe if you add HTTPS Everywhere to Chrome and Firefox will be great too. Thanks for sharing your config!

ESET Smart Security 8 brings integrated Firewall.
Emsisoft Online Armor also using?

 

[Exterminator]

I would not use OA with ESET Smart Security(ESS has a firewall) If it were Nod32 Antivirus & OA that would be a good combo otherwise if you are using ESS uninstall OA

@OneDay No I don't use a backup currently, do you have any suggestions?

@Riddick I have the personal firewall in ESET disabled and use the Online Armor firewall instead, not too sure which is best in terms of doing its job but I prefer the usability of OA.

@Everyone else I'll be sure to take a look at the extensions you recommended. Thanks

My suggestion is to add another on demand scanner like Emsisoft Emergency Kit or Hitman Pro just to safe
Very good config and thanks for sharing

@exterminator20 Thanks for the tip. In your opinion would using Nod32 + OA provide the same protection as ESS because I would really like to keep OA if possible.

Thanks for sharing your security configuration with us. I agree with @OneDay because safety reason. Backup your data before you lost them.

Nice configuration and ESET can stand on its own since you use a suite, so effectiveness is by tweaking especially HIPS followed by other components.

 

[Riddick]

In this case I agree with the view that gave exterminator20 if you would like to keep Emsisoft Online Armor it would be best Nod32 + OA
I suggest you try sandboxie a good program that also will protect you.

ryb0rg, I second Riddick's suggestion of Sandboxie.

Understanding the main effect of how the program works can help it make it uncomplicated.
With the use of Sandboxie's "sandbox", for your browsers, all changes made (added extensions, updates to both extensions & browsers, & downloads not recovered) disappear as though they'd never occured while protecting your system from unwanted changes.

A more secure method than the built in password managers provided by either FireFox or Chrome for organizing passwords is called LastPass. It securely accesses all passwords with the use of a single master password. It's free, utilizes encryption security, and makes this part of my computing life far less involved with suffering the headaches I no longer have!
