Hi Nanoosh, you've a well balanced configuration. We two share using Norton, CCleaner, & uBlock Origin, in common!:) I agree with the many good recommendations shared for the following on demand scanners which we use. Malwarebytes Antimalware Free Anti-Malware & Internet Security Software & Zemana Antimalware Zemana AntiLogger - The #1 Privacy Protection Software are installed on each of our (2) computers in our home plus Emsisoft Emergency Kit Emsisoft Free Emergency Kit: Portable malware scanner | Free removal of Viruses, Bots, Spyware, Keyloggers and Trojans on an external USB flash drive.

For added privacy, activate the third party cookie blocker in Chrome.
  1. Click the Chrome menu
    tgmsrPRh34tM4q0WYv7l-NNXDz7dqm7ftk8TyCEguoY30xkEg8lcw_ULI23ki9Q=w18-h18
    on the browser toolbar.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Click Show advanced settings.
  4. In the "Privacy" section, click the Content settings button. Select "Block third-party cookies and site data"
    • After this you'll see
      chrome_95647_blocked_cookie.gif
      in the address bar whenever a cookie has been blocked.
    • You may also mark the circle "Keep site data only until browser is closed".
and instead of Chrome's built in password manager, consider using a free encrypted password manager such as LastPass www.lastpass.com which guards against the security risks of keying in passwords.

Sandboxie is a free program which can prevent unwanted changes to your system by way of your browser's exposure. It is similar to your browser wearing a raincoat wherever the conditions online are cloudy with a chance of malware!:p For reviews, tutorials, & to download:

Thanks for sharing your configuration, and letting me share with you!:)

Agreed with @Cats-4_Owners-2 in recommending Sandboxie its not only a great browser protection you can also install and test software's with it, Zemana Anti-Malware for second opinion scanning, AOMEI or Macrium for backups(important). If you always use Flash/Pen drives use MCshield but IMO Shiela USB Shield is much better its not popular but it cleaned/removed what MCshield miss.
