Nice config.Well Secure.@inuyasha.Just add LastPass Password Manager.

There are a couple of things I'd suggest:

• Set User Account Control to Always Notify.
• Add a secondary real-time solution to supplement Windows Defender's protection. This is completely optional but I personally don't feel Defender is strong enough to provide adequate protection on its own. You could add Zemana Antimalware Premium or HitmanPro.Alert if you're willing to splash some cash or if you'd rather a free solution there's Xvirus, VoodooShield or Comodo Firewall. (If you decide to add Comodo Firewall it needs to be configured properly. I suggest following this setup video from our resident Comodo expert, @cruelsister.)
• Add a password manager such as LastPass, KeePass, Dashlane, etc. Use it to generate and store unique passwords for all your accounts.
• If you'd like some web blocking to go along with Windows Defender, I'd suggest Avira Browser Safety.

Besides those points listed above your configuration looks solid.
Thanks for sharing.

I certainly agree with both of the above posts. I personally would suggest KeePass for a password manager, and that is only because I know it well, and everything is stored locally. It really is a wonderful and versatile program that I prefer and use.
Also while I generally would agree that Windows Defender is not enough for real-time, I have heard that it is much better with the Creators Update which you are using. Not sure just how much better, and would love to get more info on that.
As @Arequire mentioned among the free suggestions, I really love either Voodooshield or Comodo Firewall using the settings via @cruelsister . If you go with either of those, Windows Defender really will be more than enough.

Avast is great with hardened mode.

Hello,
I recommend a password manager. I like Lastpass for my personnal use. And for my job, I'm using keepass and the browser extension keefox. Because I don't want to put the corporate passwords on the cloud and I don't need to sync them. These two products are nice.

You could start using AVAST Free noe & when Zemana trial runs out you can use it as an on demand scanner.
You might consider an additional on demand scanner(s).

thanks friend. i am paranoid about performance. i got 8gb ram on my computer but sometimes it can feel so slow :/

 

[jamescv7]

So far so good on the configuration.

Optionally you can add Anti-Exe like Voodoshield if you want something a lock down whitelisting approach.

 

[JM Safe]

I suggest you to add also MalwareBytes and SandBoxie Free (and use it while browsing to have more protection).

Please add Disconnect.

Thanks for sharing.
