my security configuration
looking for suggestions

Nice config
You can add uBlock Origin extension for Chrome and Edge to block a good portion of ads in web pages.
Good practice to use Windows default or Macrium Reflect free to create system images, useful in the event of a disaster due to failure or deep malware infections.

It is very important to create system images, I would suggest Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper both have a free and reliable version.

Avira does not really offer that good of zero day protection by its self. So maybe try out Voodooshield free.

I congratulate you as well with being able to memorize your passwords. No way could i do that. LastPass comes in handy.

Thanks for sharing.

Geat config! Only add Avira browser safety

 

[Rengar]

HTTPS everywhere for chrome.
Zemana AntiMalware for on demand scanner
Also VoodooShield is not that bad if you want more protection.

Looks good! Thanks for sharing your config

I honestly do not like Avira Free, but it is a good product so if you like it thats fine.
Since you have been infected recently, I would consider a zero-day solution like Voodoshield or Comodo Firewall (cruelsister's settings).

Xvirus would work too if a more behavioural-based approach was preferred.

I appreciate Xvirus a lot since it is made in my country
I still prefer defaut-deny solutions instead of behavioural based ones, though.

thank you all for your suggestions
avira is temporary
i am planning for paid security solution
i have 2 desktops
one is personal and other is for my parents
they have Kaspersky Internet Security 3 year license which is ending soon like in 2 months

You can go to ESET Smart Security or Emsisoft Internet Security.

The two product mentioned are both have strong core foundation of detection and fine tune on resource usage.

Or if worries on possible complicated setup then go to Norton Security products.

I suggest you to add HTTPS Everywhere, add SandBoxie Free (and use it while browsing to have more protection, it is now updated with the support of Windows 10 Creators Update) and follow suggestions about backups.

Thanks for sharing.
