Nice config. You should consider getting a main antivirus for your PC to be on safer side.If you are interested in free ones you should try for Avast and Qihu TS which have decent protection against malware/viruses.For paid ones ESET has the best protection.

Welldone, Kent's & jamescv7's suggestions ring true. There is enhanced protection provided by Sandboxie, Hitman Pro Alert, and Windows Firewall Control, yet (imho) Real-Time protection with a traditional Anti-Virus program should be your first layer of defense.

We use MCShield on our Windows 8.1 too.:)

To be honest with the combination of Appguard+HMPA+SBIE+MCschield and safe downloading habit............. there is no need for an AV...

You have made a powerful and strong config without the use of an AV:eek::D,that's really great:).
I just have one suggestion, add another on demand scanner like MalwareBytes or Emsisoft Emergency Kit just to be sure.
Thanks for sharing your config
