You may add OSArmor for a better real-time protection, or directly go to Avast Free + Hardened Mode (Moderate or Aggressive).

For Virus and Malware Removal Tools, You may add ZAM Free and Norton Power Eraser.

Personally I use KeyPass 2.39 + Kee offline in FFQ, I have never tried LastPass so wait the comments about it from others users :)

Thanks for sharing :)

For password manager: LastPass or keepass?
Definitely KeePass.

Also I would suggest you add Zemana AntiMalware and Emsisoft Emergency Kit as second opinion scanners. Maybe even add Comodo Firewall to your config.

What other extensions do you have for FF & Chrome (other then uBlock Origin) ? So I can make an informed reply back to you.

Avast Free is better than Avira Free?

Depends on personal opinion really. Avast is a lot lighter of computer resource usage then Avira. Comes down to what you want I guess.

Do you know best free VPN?
You could try Windscribe. It's what I use, tweet 4 data gives you 15GB a month which rolls out when the next month comes in. Never had any problems, also use it on my phone.

I don't recommend Norton Power Eraser as an everyday on demand scanner tool because Norton Power Eraser is more aggressive than other on demand scanners that can detect a lot false positives. Only use Norton Power Eraser when you are 100% it is dangerous and not some critical Windows files and services.
