I would like to suggest for a backup solution Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper both have a very good and reliable free version.

Hey the reason why I dont run a backup software is because I have all my "important" data stored on my external Hard Drives.
But I guess I should take a look into it. Is there anything I should take into account if I setup a backup software? Thanks for suggestion

Nice config! Thanks for sharring it
I would consider some type of backup solution such as the 2 free options suggested by @frogboy
You might consider an additional browser as a backup also.

Pretty fine configuration.

Just add a backup browser with same extensions use.

Snapshots are handy to restore any undo changes anytime especially if your System Restore fail.

Use a VM if you play with malwares

Hello @J4YYy. Thank you for sharing your configuration. It looks to be well thought out which may indicate you have read more than just a few good posts here on MalwareTips. Furthermore Kaspersky I.S. is considered among the top security suites!

I would like to suggest trying Firefox as a secondary browser. Similarly to cars, even if you happen to prefer one over the other, there is no reason you can't have both (kind of like peanut butter & jelly) when each offers very different qualities of their own. Here's an article I've ejoyed which discusses just that Chrome vs Firefox - WikiVS
If you'd like to download Firefox you'll find a link beneath it's logo!

Whichever browser you use, as an advanced user you may already have experiences opening online sessions inside of a sandbox as an effective measure against unseen exposures to infection. If not, allow me to introduce Sandboxie. It is effective and it is free. Sandboxie - Download Sandboxie

Finally, welcome! It's nice to meet you on this wonderful site!

ESET continues to be a favorite used in our own home, & along with your suite's sought after name there also comes a well deserved reputation for it's strengths in protections, performance, and current development.
In other words: An excellent choice!!

Good setup.
ESS 9 seems improved especially in online banking and exploits protection.
Some bugs were reported, as "problems of filtering, cannot filter the http traffic".
I haven't tested it, hows it going?

After "Day One" I have nothing to complain Installation works perfect and its lighter then KIS. I could be wrong but my system runs faster with ESET.

In other words: An excellent choice!!

Thanks

I want HIPS and firewall configured correctly for best protection without having bunch of load on computer. Could you please tell best way to optimise set or export a setting file ?
