Hello and thanks for sharing your config! :)

I suggest you to install atleast one on demand malware scanner (Zemana Anti-Malware is great)

You can also replace Adblock Plus with Ublock Origin imo its better ;)

Install HTTPS Everywhere for chrome.

Consider setting your OS and Software Patches to Automatically download and install, unless your on a restricted data allowance, then you should consider changing it to notify but do not download automatically. Its important to install these patches

Even I like Manual update, it better to have a PC that isn't broken due to updates. Now, everything is cumulative so, download a monthly rollup update and you are on latest version. IObit Uninstaller isn't necessary when you already have Revo paid version.

Is Iobit Uinstaller that good?
I got Revo Uinstaller Pro.
I have also heard that Driver Booster From Iobit Should be Fantastic.
Tell me i am wrong.

IMO, they are very good. I have been using iobit products for a long time
The uninstaller is extremely handy with everything you need in other paid products. I still think revo pro is a bit better in general but batch uninstaller from iobit is far better
driver booster is great. it is the safest driver updater I have tested but sometimes it still causes problems. if you can update driver from official sources, this is the best

How did you get infected ?
OS Firewall should be set to 3rd Party Firewall > Please edit
Type of User Account should be set to Local Account > Please edit
Consider some on demand scanners.
Consider uBlock Origin in place of ABD+
Consider using CCleaner or Privazer for privacy & optimization
What do you use for system and data backups ?
Thanks for sharing your config :)

I would never in my life trust Iobit Products after the MB incident.. Are you using Kaspersaky firewall? If so mark your security config's firewall with "3d Party" CCleaner is a good product to add for computer optimization while Zemana (there are lots of FPs from AVs for some reason) but its a really good on demand scanner too add. :)

I stayed away from Iobit after it worsened by PC by auto tweaks and cleanup 2 years ago.

same here, you dont need iobit to update drivers as by default windows update downloads driver updates for itself and selected third party products like nvidia. and ccleaner does more for free in terms of cleanup

IObit Uninstaller
Revo Uninstaller Pro

7zip
Winrar

Why both of them!!!

You can try Tixati instead of uTorrent 2.2.1.

In AdblockPlus option, uncheck "Allow some non-intrusive advertising"

I reckon a 8/10TB SAS/Fiber Optics interfaced drives with a minimum of 8-10 disks, right? For web and daily tasks you're using Debian and for gaming you're using Windows, am I right? Why, others dislike utorrent is because it acts like PUP or adware nowadays. You can stick to it. Adblock Plus is a little heavier on CPU, so uBlock origin is a lighter option with all features of ABP. Heck, you can even host a mirror for MalwareTips.
