Suggestions on the main improvements

Hello everyone this is my security config. I'm thinking about adding Simple Windows Hardening and RunbySmartscreen but I don't know if they are required if I'm using SysHardener and VoodooShield. Any suggestions and advice are welcome. :D

SysHardener latest update has been released very long time ago. You can replace it with Simple Windows Hardening.
ESET IS with tweaked/created HIPS rules should be enough, but you may prefer to keep VoodoShield ;)

Yeah SH has been updated quite a while back. Shadow Defender also has been updated quite a while back. Till now SD works flawlessly on my PC and that's why I have kept it. I rarely use it when I test new softwares. Also these are the settings I use for SysHardener (just unassociate the file extension for script files) and till now these have worked perfectly for me. ESET IS has been tweaked but I have not added any HIPS or Firewall Rules. I have tweaked only the settings like enable detection of Potentially Unwanted Applications and Unsafe Applications and set the sensitivity of ESET to Aggressive. I've also set the Real-Time Protection to enable Advanced Heuristics/DNA Signatures and enable Runtime Packers.

Does KVRT update its database? Or do I have to download the latest version every time? If it updates it's database then I have no problem in using KVRT.

You are right. Unfortunately, for KVRT it's still required to download the latest version from the homepage. Of course, it's a downside...
But I personally recommend KVRT due to it's ability scanning for possible system memory infections by malware.
