Please fill out the rest of your Security Configuration, including any Browser Extensions, Data and OS backups.

For your Profile page, it's optional.

@laserbeam : please kindly consider:
  • Please specify the exact version of Bulguard product You have installed.
  • Enable UAC, at least, at default level.
  • As for "Virus and Malware Removal Tools", You may add: ZAM Free and Norton Power Eraser, and MalWareBytes 4 Windows Free. CCleaner is not a virus removal tool...
  • As for "Disk Imaging Backup", You may add Macrium Reflect Free or AOEMI Backupper, both are free and reliably.
  • As for "Browsers extensions" & "Web Privacy", You may add some extensions such as uBlock Origin and/or ScriptSafe, and a VPN service.
  • A PassWord Manager would be welcome also.
  • Finally consider to update Your system to Windows 10, which is more secure than W7.
  • Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here.
Thanks for sharing Your config :)

I would add the following to your config when you have time to edit:
  • Maybe add Bleachbit & Syshardener
  • Adding Sandboxie for Browser privacy & security
  • UAC to always notify
  • Backup software such as Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backuppper
  • Look at extensions for Chrome such as Privacy Possum, Scriptsafe, uBlock Origin & Decentraleyes
  • Maybe Zemana Anti Malware & Emsisoft Emergency Kit as second opinion scanners
  • Change default search engine from Google to DuckDuckGo, Startpage or searx.me
  • VPN provider you could add which is safe & free is WindScribe
  • Maybe add OSArmor to your config
Hope you have a secure comp, look at the tips people have typed up fopr you and have a good day.
