For Virus Removal, Zemana is a good choice. Also, I have been trying a lot lately to download real time AV. So far, I havn't been able to do that 2-way customization of Windows Defender living off with an AV because they disabled each other. If How did you seamlessly integrate Windows Firewall with Emisoft?

Hi DDE do you use default DNS?
In my opinion, you use too many redundant extensions for security with your browser.
You could decrease them in favor of customized lists with UBO.
Then of course feel free to do as you please.
I expressed my opinion only because you requested it.
Otherwise I would never allow myself.

Emsisoft does not have a dedicated firewall,so windows firewall is used without any security centre problems

Personally I would keep Emsisoft (because you use their AV). Netcraft (excels in phishing and especially card skimmers) and AdGuard because you have their desktop extension for system-wide blocking) and lose all the others.

Emsisoft by default comes with windows firewall fortification which is compatible with built in windows firewall ( i am using Tinywall for creating firwall rules )
New in 2017.8: Windows Firewall Fortification | Emsisoft | Security Blog
Emsisoft Anti-Malware 2017.8 introduces a new Firewall Fortification feature that blocks illegitimate manipulations of Windows Firewall rules.

I think Malwarebytes Browser guard is strong against online scammer which there isn't any other extension provide this feature
removed McAfee seems unnecessary module

Correct, but thinking of Netcraft, it also has strong protection as seen here: Q&A - HEUR:Trojan-PSW.Script.Generic and here: Q&A - A site only detected by Kaspersky and NetcraftI think Malwarebytes Browser guard is strong against online scammer which there isn't any other extension provide this feature
removed McAfee seems unnecessary module
So IMO having Emsisoft, MalwareBytes and Netcraft is a bit much and some overlapping protection.
I would choose between MalwareBytes and Netcraft, but it's your system

Also HTTP s Everywhere isn't redundant as it is force https encryption which no other extension i use do thatCorrect, but thinking of Netcraft, it also has strong protection as seen here: Q&A - HEUR:Trojan-PSW.Script.Generic and here: Q&A - A site only detected by Kaspersky and Netcraft

Also correct, but with most websites going to https I don't feel the need anymore for an enforcing extension.Also HTTP s Everywhere isn't redundant as it is force https encryption which no other extension i use do that
I try (but don't always succeed, the trouble with visiting forums like this one
) to use as little 3rd party extensions and apps as possible.For example if I use AdGuard (lifetime licence holder) and or uBlock Origin I feel websites load a little faster, browser is snappier with uBlock Origin alone. So I use uBlock Origin alone now.

The reasons I keep returning to µBO + Privacy Possum combo: speed, compatibility and features.

sure that the difficult part to satisfy the balance between protection and performance (Fine tuning parameters
) but you get that by trial and error in your system configuration.

Nice addition and nice setup, but why both Emsi and MBG? And why both Adguard desktop and µBO?

Emsisoft is SO SO in web protection so i am using import phishing host rules download regularly from Phishing Army | The Blocklist to filter Phishing! and stevenblack which block a lot of telemetry tooNice addition and nice setup, but why both Emsi and MBG? And why both Adguard desktop and µBO?
MBG is excellent against online scammer and some telemetry blocking
Adgaurd + UBO may be somehow redundant but i didnot face browser performance issues so no problem keeping both . i am thinking to remove UBO since i found some filters of it enabled by default in Adguard "Such as Easy list in my desktop App
