Comodo Firewall won't install in my new HD :rolleyes:
Removed: CF
Addeed: Avast free, Binisoft WFC, Sandboxie free, VoodooShield Free
Amazing configuration! Covering almost every point on a system. Is your WFC licensed? Notifications for that firewall would make the config perfect for me. Nicely done!

Removed Kaspersky Free (slowing my PC after spectre/meltdown patch), return to Windows Defender and all is smooth.
Removed uBlock Origin, added Adguard extension and Adguard DNS via simpleDNScrypt: very good in blocking ads and pop-up in streaming site (I like anime and most of them in Italy aren't available in my language).
