Consider adding an aditional on demand scanner(s) such as Emsisoft Emergency Kit and or Zemana Antimalware.
Consider some type of system backup solution or edit your config to reflect what you are using for system backups.

Nice a simple config. I agree with Exterminator. Look into Emsisoft EEK or Hitman Pro for on demand scanners.

Great config thanks for sharing!
I also recommend Zemana AntiMalware and Macrium Reflect for making system images.

Alright, thank you! I have taken your suggestion into consideration and decided to choose Emsisoft Emergency Kit. As for system backups, I do not really feel the need to make as I only have certain files and content on my computer that I generally need and I keep that stored on USB Drives. (note: If something was to happen to my system and it needed to be restored, I would either rely on an earlier version that was kept or just reinstall Windows again.)

Looks great now. Zemana has better detection than Emsisoft Emergency Kit, however, as it uses many engines (better even than Hitmanpro).

Just got finished with updating a few things and installing/switching some applications.

Very nice configuration, thanks for sharing

Decent security, but can be bypassed. Because your security solution is very basic (which is fine), 0 day malware or and complicated malware will probably have an easy time going through your security. If you're going to use a simple solution, at least add something like hitmanpro alert which is pretty good and easy to use.

I have added the ScriptSafe extension to Google Chrome.

Never heard of KeePassXC before. Does it have any features that stand out from the original KeePass?

Here is a quote from their page:

KeePassXC is a community fork of KeePassX which aims to incorporate stalled pull requests, features, and bug fixes that have never made it into the main KeePassX repository.

Seems pretty interesting. I'll give it a go and see how it compares.

Feel free to post your opinion about it here, I'd like to know what others think.

Fine choice of simple components. I'm not sure about zero day attacks...crystal security has a a cloud..but how good?

It has a generally good cloud system. I'm not exactly protecting against 0days although it is kept in mind. This is a simple, fast, but yet secure setup. Don't need anything to heavy.

Crystal security has it's own cloud + heuristic.
I'd used this one for a month and I can say the cloud is decent. It did detect some programs that appear to be risky and some possibly malicious ones (though 1 or 2 weren't, and those were FPs, but it apparently has good algo and anyways cloud should be considered as an indicator only).
Besides, the flexibility of choosing the level of system monitoring, the Multi-engine feedback and blacklisting (a mild alternative to VDS) is what I would recommend it for.

I have added AppCheck Anti-Ransomware, SpywareBlaster, and Simple DNSCrypt to my security configuration.

Updated my configuration once more today.
