Thanks for posting (y)
Some advice from me:
ESET, Malwarebytes and Windows Defender all three as realtime protection?
I would only keep ESET in realtime use the others on demand.
Why 2 adblock extensions (Adblock, and uBlock Origin). uBlock origin should be enough.
You really should do something about a backup. It's your best defense. Nothing on your pc has any value for you?

ESET should be enough, you don't need Malwarebytes. You have a firewall and AV covered, add ScriptSafe to your Web browser.

Remove HerdProtect, this is outdated, the author has never updated the software for ages now. This will add a further spot that malicious individuals will target. I would remove this.

Also add Macrium Reflect as your backup solution, going forward with these tips you should be fine.

Thanks for the advice folk's, for a backup I'll go with a external drive.
Tho I'll have to buy one first.

ScriptSafe was last updateda year ago (12 Dec 2017), would this still be a good choice?
Yes, blocks scripts from websites.

@Red-ufo: with ESET IS You don't need MWBytes Premium in resident protection, You may keep is for on demand scans.

A PassWord Manager would be welcome, thanks for sharing :giggle:

Good configuration, Nothing to add. Keeping only eset is enough but if you feel mbam provides something extra and you like then it is a great real time setup.
