You could add LastPass for password management, HTTPS Everywhere some backup software such as Aomei Backuuper or Macrium Reflect both have a free version..;)

If you do not have a portable hard drive use Aomei One Key backup solution. Also you could ad CCleaner for better privacy. :)

Others i am sure will ad to this i am sure. ;)

Hello @prince shukla
My name is FireShootSK and i help you improve your config:
  • Have you enabled UAC? UAC can safe your PC!
  • No on-demand scanners? Install MBAM, Zemana or ESET Online scanner/EKK
  • Backup your important data to external HDD or cloud(Dropbox,Mega,OneDrive...)
  • Have you created backup of your system. Very good program for making backup is easeus todo backup
  • Install Sandboxie. It's very good program to run apps in sandbox
  • I see you want visit phishing sites. I recommend install to your browser WoT(Web of Trust), BitDefender TrafficLight and Https Everywhere.
  • Change AdBlock to uBlock. It's lighter and little better
  • Install PrivaZer or CCleaner
  • Install LastPass
Thanks for share your config.
Sayonara ;)

Thank you @prince shukla, for sharing.
The wise and experienced advice that has been given you are gems, more than a handful of which reside upon our own system configurations!:p
As you are a Chrome Browser user too, I'll share what I feel increases it's capacity for protecting your privacy.
  1. Click the Chrome menu
    IB7eZ2ht1pEixChJA4xp6iejr1xw3rXY_yJNeHgHajBRTzLB0ldIpEFje8gyeB4ydp6xpQpJ=w18-h18
    on the browser toolbar.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Scroll to the bottom, & click Show advanced settings.
  4. In the "Privacy" section, click the Content settings button.
  • Check the box "Block third party cookies & site date"
  • Mark the circle "Keep site date only until you close your browser"
Use "New Incognito Window" often. This will delete cookies at end of sessions.;) :):)

Trend Micro IS 2015 is a pretty good product which all you have to do is an active internet connection to obtain Cloud function working.

You need to take extra precaution upon testing since a last infection date happened will be a lesson for you :)

Anyway; backup and backup must be implemented; conduct system image and place all your important files in External HDD/USB.

Other software to add is File extraction which will be 7-zip or Bandizip. In terms of backup browser then Opera or Firefox. (You may go on other variants/derivatives)

Hi, I want to suggest you to install BitDefender 60 virus scanner, which is a very light and quick scanner.
It always runs in background but it is very powerful and important.
Another thing: you can install Collusion extension for your browser, which is a very important extension, because it allows you to know which websites are tracking you!
For the rest, I agree with @exterminator20 ,@FireShootSK, and @jamescv7.
In addition you can install MPC-HC, which is a very good media player
Thanks for sharing your config bro. ;)
