@Gapp:

• You may set UAC to Always Notify.
• I find a bit overkill Avast Premium Security + NVT ERP Beta + NVT OS Armor, if You enable Hardened Mode Agresive in Avast + NVT OSA, You probably are good enough, and don't need NVT ERP Beta...

Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, thanks for sharing

+100, OSA is just ERP without prompts and with more hardcoded rules. ERP is more oriented for people who like create lot of specific rules while OSA is oriented to those who prefer less work.
I didn't used Avast since a decade so i don't know if its BB allows the creation of custom parent/child process rules, if yes NVT & OSA aren't even needed.

I remember that Hardened Mode in Avast only blocks exe files? so NVT OSA would still be welcome... and/or even SysHardener...

if Hardened Mode blocks executables (and if you can create rules), so OSA/SH aren't even needed. Overlapping functions is pointless (unless there is a specific reason).
There is no secret sauce behind OSA, it is just a well-made anti-exe as ERP but without prompts.
