Nice security configuration. I would suggest you to set UAC to MAX so you could keep track of every changes to your PC. Nothing really to add. Have a great time at MT.

Really good config. Consider adding Zemana Anti-Malware for on demand scanning.

Great config. In my opinion you don't need to add anything to that.

Good setup.
Nice to see someone still using the old, good NTRegOPT as Registry defragmentation utility and knowing it works also on Windows 10

Hello, I like your config, just replace adBlock Plus with uBlock Origin, it is lighter on resources.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you all guys for the nice comments. Glad to hear that this is a good configuration. Just a note, as Microsoft themselves suggested in their forums that EMET toolkit it is not needed anymore in Windows 10. So I uninstalled it.
BTW, thank you all for the suggestions. I did changed chrome to block 3rd party cookies and site data. +1
I am gonna keep uac at default and not maxed out. The reason for this is pretty simple, as cruelsister1's found out in his ransomware testing UAC, putting it to the max did not help, so default is more than enough for me.
Do any of you people agree with my choices?
Thank you and your feedback is greatly appreciated!
