its a good setup, but you could do with a better Firewall
My recommendation would be
Comodo Firewall Free
Outpost Pro

you don't really need Zemana Antilogger

Use Imaging and Backup softwares like Paragon B&R Free

You might wanna add adblock plus , https everywhere and Bitdefender trafficlight as extra addons for chrome :)

Your config is good, nothing to add or remove.

the free version is useful if he feels the need to encrypt his keystroke.

I had ZAL Free during using Windows 7. If you're using an Encrypted connection whlist web browsing, there's no reason not to use an AntiLogger during normal PC use.

I know I will be using Zemana AntiLogger Free once it's reached it's final Beta/RC testing period. The reason being, as malware evolves I want something to protect my keystrokes from everything.

I assume you mean AVG LinkScanner Surf-Shield? LinkScanner was discontinued and replace by AVG Secure Search - unless it remains the paid versions of AVG.

EDIT:

Browser Extension - HTTPS Everywhere

Thanks Earth, I will probably remove Zemana Antilogger Free for the time being. I meant AVG Online Shield sorry haha not the Linkscanner, that was definetly removed :). I will download HTTPS Everywhere now,thankyou for the suggestions.

For those unaware AVG paid editions firewall uses Agntium Outpost Firewall technology. The firewall is good enough for normal uses along with its Identity protection ie behavior sheild.
If you use a Sandboxie you dont need to depend on Zemena but keeping it is also no probs.
Also WOT is not needed AVGs safe search ratings is enough. I have stopped using WOT, as it is community based and not really web threats scanned.
I want security against the real bad sites not what a group of ppl think is bad. I dont think WOT can provide any zero day ability like Trafficlight or McAfee siteadvisor have.

AVG IS with Outpost sounds a bad idea, sure these two firewalls will clash ?
Let us know what happens please.
