Maybe just a blunder.

Is your installed GlassWire the free version or paid?
You're relying on it as your primary firewall but the free version (since you haven't mentioned any paid version like elite, basic..I assume it's free) has only infographics and stats display.
It won't intelligently control (block/allow) any incoming or outgoing Internet connection. It will just monitor and display the stats.

Have a look here. The paid versions have Ask to Connect, Lockdown and other crucial features of a firewall.
So if it's the free version you're using, consider upgrading or using another firewall program.

You do not need Auslogics Disk Defrag (Windows does it nice) neither CCleaner (since Kerish is present).
Consider backing up your system.

Yes its a free version of Glasswire. Acually here in india, the internet speed is slow. So I can not use fully functional firewall as it slowdown my internet speed. Thats why i have choosen this.

And I respect your suggestion, but C Cleaner is my all time favorite software. Also I am using Auslogics from last 4 years and found very effective and faster than windows default...well thanks for your comment

If you're connected to the internet, a firewall is really needed no matter what.
Once any malicious program leaks your sensitive data or receives malicious payload despite an AV watching, it's of no use inspecting the graphs of old/already done connections in GlassWire.

Why don't you post your system specs here for us to know how well will it do?
People here can recommend you a light FW. You can try out Tinywall (light, tight rules) or Zonealarm FW (more customizable, interactive, bigger one), though you can get to know more over here. These won't have much effect on speed, try out.

And yes, major part of protection is your decision. Allow only know programs to connect. Take recommendations that FWs give when you're not sure (eg. Zonealarm does).

A good config for me, nothing to add here.

Thanks for sharing with us here at MT.

Just remember to backup that machine of yours.

Thanks for you valuable suggestion. Just installed Tinywall. Now lets see how it will work. I hope it will not slow down my internet speed.

I actually looked into No-Script Suite lite for chrome before going with Netcraft. It is unnecessary. It just blocks javascripts & others thing as a whole per-site basis (correct me if i am wrong). Chrome already has a built-in same function when u click the (i) in the address-bar.

Well Comodo firewall is added

I see that you use security products default settings. If so, please consider change Comodo Firewall default protection level to Proactive.

Thanks for sharing your config.

Regards.
