Thanks for sharing your config!
Nice and clean, i got nothing to add.

Good you have a data backup plan.
But I recommend you a OS image backup to protect the operating system from serious problems, crash or severe malware.
Macrium Reflect Free is a great alternative to Windows default.

Very light running! Is that F-Secure SAFE?

.. i'm one of few guys here also running Windows 7 and F-secure Internet Security... Maybe you should also add to you configuration this security tool: ADW-cleaner. ...and here are some opinions about LastPass (password manager) from MT members:

I would like to suggest either Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backkupper to create system images. Both have a good free and reliable version. Then you are covered if any bad things happen.

I suggest you to install a backup solution, follow @frogboy suggestion. Then add HTTPS Everywhere, Disconnect.

Thanks for sharing.

Good setup!Thanks for sharing your config
Like others have mentioned consider some type of system back up solution.

 

[LukeNukesEm]

I would add https everywhere. Other than that you have decent security!

Very light running! Is that F-Secure SAFE?

Yes. F-secure Safe as the main security suite.

Nice configuration out there, as always having a backup is a must; it may take several hours to complete the operation but guaranteed it can revert changes immediately.

The system image backup is a little more important than most think; if one gets hit with a Rootkit / Bootkit, just restoring a conventional file based Data backup will not get the system back. An image restores the disk to a known state thus restoring the system to that time point.
