Nice config.
Based in my experience Revo Uninstaller free does a better job than Geek.
And if i remember correctly it now supports 64 bit.
As for Eset av if you find Interactive Mode annoying with the pop ups you can use Policy Based Mode.

I found interactive mode is good.
You just need to learn it for 5 days and then work with pc for 10 days in interactive mode.
The first 10 days is painful but after that its calm like a cute cat:D
you can also set rules manually:
When that hips popup asked you about smth go to the advanced options and uncheck the middle option and press allow so it will allow everything for that process( but don't do this for cmd or windows process)
Also, don't forget to export your settings somewhere and save them for later.

You are "squared paranoid" = paranoid ^ 2
Paranoid about the security and about changing it.
But, what fun it is, anyway!!!:)

Edit
Sometimes the route is more important than the destination, especially when you are young and happy.

Part of the reason I use less intrusive and easier out-of-the-box setups.

There's also BCUninstaller for Geek Uninstaller and Glary Utilities for CCleaner
CONFIGURED: Windows Firewall set to default-deny incoming connections
Isn't that already the default?
Adguard also has the Adguard Popup Blocker Script you can install from their blog with something like Tampermonkey.
