Hello, I used to use Avast Free Antivirus, but recently I'm counting only on the built-in Window 10 security solution - Windows Defender. I also use a lot of virtualization when trying new software and keep most of the important data on external media.

This my 1st time I've seen on-demand scanner using virustotal
Actually nothing wrong...

you can use Hitman Pro, Zemana AntiMalware or Malwarebytes

Yes give Zemana Antimalware free a try is a good on demand scanner and maybe add CCleaner.

Well, let me explain. When I download something too suspicious I scan it using virustotal if possible. Mostly I'm counting on Virtual Machines and snapshots or utilities like Shadow Defender. I really don't remember the last time I used to scan my PC on demand but if I have to do it, I will use rescue media (Kaspersky Rescue Disk for example) to perform a boot scan or simply install Avast and start the boot scan. Although when it comes to deal with someone's infected PC I use tools like ComboFix, Autoruns, Malwarebytes Chameleon, GMER, etc. Some time ago I also used online scanners like ESET, Panda or whatever I find after googling for something like "online antivirus scan"

Nice and simple config
I like it how you are using some of the default Windows services/tools for your day-to-day activity.Just one suggestion from my side please make sure you use sync feature to backup your browser settings and passwords and also if possible, put a master password on the built in browser password manager so that the sensitive data remains encrypted and safe.
If virustotal is your choice for an on demand scanner you might be interested in VirusTotal uploader/ Phrozen VTUploader which can scan multiple files right from the desktop.Another approach can be file checksums using Hash checker from context menu.

Keep the OS, software ,browser/plugins updated for maximum protection.
