You're on Windows 10 so IMHO Avira is obsolete as your combination of CFW and VS is powerful enough to catch almost anything and built-in Windows Defender is quite good AV so Avira is just a waste of resources.
Second thing are the on demand scanners - there are some really good ones available for free: Zemana Anti-Malware, Emsisoft Emergency Kit, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. HitmanPro is also a top notch but only scanning is free - removal of the threats needs at least trial license and after a trial period you'll need to buy a key to use it.
You're protected pretty well with CFW and VS but still backup is a must as there are no tools or suites which can guarantee you 100% security ;)

Welcome, and make yourself at home,
Like so many have said, in a pinch software like Macrium can be a god send.
Thanks for sharing.
PS: I was born in Fla. But moved to Charlotte when I was 16 I call it home, nice to see another Carolinian here in MT ;)
I live in Missouri now with my wife, but the Carolinas are home.

Implement some type of system backup solution.
Consider an on demand scanner(s).
Thanks for sharing your config :)
