Pretty strong configuration in terms of real time protection. Don't care much for herdProtect myself but nothing wrong with it. Wouldn't hurt to add Zemana Anti-Malware. It is similar to HitmanPro but uses different AV engines. I wouldn't go nuts with Wise Registry Cleaner. I trust CCleaner's built in registry cleaner more than Wise's.

If you like your current configuration, I wouldn't change a thing. Maybe considering use a cloud sync like OneDrive or backup your HDD with Paragon or similar. You'd only want to use cloud sync programs to back up important files. Paragon backups everything. Recommend doing so on 2nd or external hard drive.

All products may fail in the presence of time for such mistakes which why you need a backup to save time and effort ;)

Conduct system image by using the built in of Windows or third party program like Macrium Reflect or AOIMEI Backupper alongside of bootable device to access in case your computers became unbootable.

Other than that its a good configuration. ;)

Yep, this combination of ESET NOD32 and Comodo Firewall has been perfect for me and my other DNAs. Easy to use for them too and handle the pop-ups hehe. And the fact that, my pc has never been infected with any malware since I started using this combo, knock on wood.
And yep, I do use Zemana Anti-Malware too sometimes, EEK, TDSSKiller, NPE, CCE, Stinger, hence the ....
About visiting malicious sites, ta, Umbra sir :) gonna always keep in mind.
And yes, about backup, all ur suggestions duly noted. :)
Thanks, OokamiCreed mate and jamescv7 sir :)
