Some kind of backup if you don't already have one.
You could add Emsisoft Emergency Kit and or ESET Online Scanner as additional on demand scanners.
I would also suggest adding HTTPS Everywhere to Chrome & FF
Another good free program to consider is Sandboxie

Using Windows firewall right..? Avast Free isn't enough you'd have to harden it though the settings (just my two cents). SBIE is a good free program. Wait a while as there might be a Shadow Defender promo that you can avail. Goodluck :)

What do you mean sending file without permission? Hitman Pro is a cloud/offline on demand scanner and does provide a behavior.

It scans in cloud and upload certain file during scan operation for checking with license engines.

There is a settings where it automatically uploads suspicious file in cloud, and suppose to be normal behavior during scan operation especially if the file is new also.
