Few suggestions; enable UAC and consider creating a system image as an OS backup. Verify you trust all those browser add-ons.

ESET Smart Security is the work of UAC, a second tip will do, I trust all Firefox add-ons, whenever I used these, I always do a check on all add-ons and always see the notes updates, and always on the Mozilla forum and developers.
Your tip creating a system image of an OS backup. Perfect, I'll do it :D

tranks :)

Possibly add Malwarebytes Anti Exploit
ESET does the job very well Anti Exploit :D

Good to go:)But configure Eset HIPS to smart mode instead of automatic.Use VM as you download Viruses or Sanboxie(Paid).

Enable UAC even if you have ESET HIPS. UAC works at kernel level , ESET doesn't.
Use a VM if you keep playing with suspicious sites & malwares
add an imaging backup soft.

Definitely enable UAC and most definitely consider a VM for playing with Malware.
Consider some type of system back up.
Personally I would get rid of TuneUp Utilities as CCleaner is more than enough.
Good config! Thanks for sharing it :)

Yes, but no offense I personally feel like ESET is a little more resource intensive than MBAE.
ESET Smart Security is full security suite; Antivirus, Firewall, Anti-Spam, Exploit Blocker, ESET Live Grid and other features. Of course it may use more resources, but that's because it's performing more tasks than Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit. ;)

My config is different from yours as well. I use things like Avast, and Malwarebytes Anti- Malware to protect my computer. Just was putting out my opinion :D

Sorry if bumping thread but I recommend upgrading to Windows 10 for added security and performance. :)
A while I did not leave here my configuration, I will update :D
At the moment I can not upgrade Windows 10, because my hard drive this with a problem! If by chance something goes wrong I will lose a lot of files (I will back up these files, oh yes I will update) :)
