Consider replacing Adblock Plus with either uBlock Origin or AdGuard. For system backups, Hasleo Backup Suite is a reliable and free choice. Opting for a privacy and security-focused DNS service is better than using your ISP's service.
I did use Malwarebytes and Emsisoft as second opinion scanners until this year, I removed them because in the last couple of years I did use them a long Bitdefender Internet Security, and when I scanned my PC, they never detected anything.
