In terms of your internet security, it looks good, however, you should really have real-time protection other than just a firewall. You should keep Comodo Firewall, but add a different program. Bitdefender and Sophos are my favorites, Avast, AVG, Kaspersky, Panda, etc. would also do the job.
Also, for your removal tools, I would add Zemana Antimalware and HitmanPro to your system.

@m1kethe: are You using Cruelsister's settings?

Everything looks good, basics are covered. Only thing i would recommend is to not use the "Driver Booster" application for device drivers. This is better done manually, as these applications tend to not chose the most compatible/stable versions of drivers for your machine.
Most of it yes, but for example, i have HIPS on safe mode, and i prefer to receive privilege elevation alerts, because i use some software (relative to my course) that i need to use as normal (and not contained)

Thank you, i will evaluate the best of Bitdefender and Sophos and decide later.
I would do the same to the removal tools that you said. Thank you
I did not got any trouble so far, but i will try to find an alternative because manual is a little boring :/
Do i keep Comodo Internet Security with Sophos Home free? or they conflit? which one should i use as main antivirus?
Yeah driver boosters or any boost softwares, cleaners often tend to be useless and only mess up things
If you wanna use that driver booster;
scan for outdated drivers
Install outdated drivers manually
scan again to see that they are up to date
Comodo internet security is basically firewall + on demand antivirus scanner = wont slow down your system or inpact on network speed
Most other antiviruses have better protection overall
You will gain better protection with sophos av + comodo firewall than with comodo internet security
Reason im using cis is just avoiding conflicts
For protection theres better alternatives like kaspersky free
Its just about you how much do you care about your pricacy and wich companies you want to trust or not to trust
Basic layers are covered. Good config, thanks for sharing!
Apart from default search engine, you could change it to DDG, Startpage or searx.me

Why bitdefender over rest alternatives? Https everywhere is very weight addon, you could have smart https as alternative. Only reason i had to delete https everywhere, since i didnt find whitelisting option
HTTPS Everywhere in 2018 especially I believe is a redundant extension, due to most websites now rolling out HTTPS by default. Smart HTTPS can also break websites as it forces websites rather then finding the HTTPS version.

I tried Sophos Home free, but since its all in the cloud, i can see it using to much bandwidth, and i prefer to have a local quarantine.
I used before Avast and AVG and they appear to be very heavy. Kaspersky or Panda, i never used none of them.
So far, BitDefender seems very light to me, so i choose it for now.
Yes, i uderstand that HTTPS Everywhere can be a little heavy.. SmartHTTPS, i never used it or heard anything of it
Thank you for that comments.
So, should i remove it? If i remove it, maybe i should change Chrome Sttings to alert me better that i am in a NON HTTPS website ?
Yes me neither, but i will start to use the method that @Moonhorse described above.

If you feel as if you need it based off your own personal experiences keep it. If you wish to follow my advice you can remove it. It's totally up to you!
