Not my favorite AV at all, but good setup overall.
Do not forget to tweak uBlock Origin with hpHosts filters, so that you have the same url blocking as in Malwarebytes Premium.

Never heard of Backup Maker or Firewall App Blocker. I think there should be more discussion on the backup software since there seems to be many of them and talking about antivirii and other security software gets boring at times.

Could you specifiy what browsers you are using please. I would add Zemana Antimalware as an on demand scanner.

I would consider a system backup solution also unless you plan on performing a clean install if something happens.
I believe Backup Maker is for data only.
Nice secure Windows 10 config! Thanks for sharing it with us

Backup Maker is not perfect and does not support shadow copy but I have managed to work with it since I don't have much sensitive data on this machine that would make me need more than what Backup Maker offers. I'm the let's just wipe and fresh install guy. And Firewall app Blocker is simple but works great, it just uses windows firewall but gives you stuff like whitelist and I liked that concept. I just tell what will reach internet and the rest is deny by default. And you get that extra windows firewall performance that you'll miss with most third party Firewalls that are somehow heavier on the system.

It is not my favorite AV too, but I'm getting an Emsisoft key soon so in the meanwhile it is doing just fine. And that uBlock Origin trick is pretty cool thanks for sharing it!

It's always cool to share stuff here : D

I use Pale Moon as my main browser and yes I do have Zemana for On-Demand.

You can automatically create rules for all programs in a folder using firewall app blocker.

My updated and final setup. It has proved to run smooth and with minor issues, so far the biggest one was removing multiple items from the Trusted Vendor list. Besieds that, haven't found any issues with rules.
