Maybe add an extension that cna deal with malicious links, phishing etc in one, such as Bitdefender Trafficlight. I have my doubts that MBAM Premium nowadays can be a standalone product any more.

Also think about using a Windows Firewall Platform companion such as Tinywall or Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control.

Remember the above are my views, you may wish to implement them or not. Thanks for sharing.
