Pretty decent security configuration for my personal home use. Gathered information from multiple threads on this site.

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

Nice config and great choice of AV. I agree with @davisd to set UAC to max. Thanks for sharing!

Hello @robertul. Your configuration, as in the tune from Sound of Music, represents ..a few of my favorite things (in a configuration).
Something I'll mention, you might also already know of, is to set
blocking of third party cookies in your Chrome browser:

1. Click the Chrome menu
   
   on the browser toolbar.
2. Select Settings.
3. Click Show advanced settings.
4. In the "Privacy" section, click the Content settings button. Select "Block third-party cookies and site data"
   • After this you will see
     
     in the address bar whenever a cookie has being blocked.
   • Optionally, you may also mark the circle "Keep site data until you close the browser".

Thank you for sharing your good configuration.

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!
