Added Ublock Origin after a long time not using it because of a bigger attack surface with addons & replaced ZAM portable with NPE. I also specified that I have HIPS in EIS in Smart Mode. If I occasionally need a system backup I use AOMEI backupper. Thank you all.

Great addition.. Ublock is definitely a worth while tool. Last night i was throwing malicious URL's at CIS V11 Webfilter, and had to allow almost everyone of them through Ublock before the webfilter was able to react.
