What are you doing with all those windows?
Again you call yourself an expert but your computer got infected less than a months back!

I suggest a privacy tools such as PrivaZer and a backup&recovery solution for data and system backup and restore.
About Prividog you can see here : http://malwaretips.com/threads/privdog-compromises-your-security.42757/ (Thanks Petrovic)

@Klipsh : Thanks for the tips.
@sid_16 : I download a lot of programs (legally) and I catch a lot of virus, and adwares... But I scans all my pcs regularly.
For the os's : I've got a HP 630 Notebook with Windows 7 and 10. An Achos9 pctablet with xp. And I use xp Black Edit in Virtualbox to test some tweaks.

On your tablet you can install Webroot Antivirus.
It's very light and it uses very little resources about 5 MB of RAM and 1-2% of CPU. Only while scanning it's using a bit more RAM.
The downside it's paid and it needs internet connection to provide better security because it's a cloud AV.
And read this thread for a great offer:http://malwaretips.com/threads/webroot-secureanywhere-2015-4-99.43741/#post-367924
I hope i have helped

I think it's not very useful because windows is only for Music (ableton) + games.

Yup,
Phishing => I do it on a live security-linux-distro from an usb key.
Malware => sometimes in a vm (windows 7 or XP).

@FireShootSK : I install shadow defender or toolwiz timefreeze ?

Both programs are very good. But for my is little better SD.

Nice config. I would suggest removing Xvirus since it's signatures are not that good and takes up a bit of ram (My opinion).
And for AV, BD free is good but would be better to switch to the paid version since it provides better protection and a lot of giveaways are available.

Updated my security config :
-removed : winpatrol +glasswire+ bitdefender free
-added : Bitdefender IS.
