Nice one!
Why don't you add an anti-exploit (MalwareBytes AE) and sandboxie?
Also, you can replace Emsisoft Emergency Kit & MalwareBytes with Zemana (premium).

MBAE is not standalone product any more and there is no more free version. It is integrated in Malwarebytes 3.0 and if you want to use it, you'll have to purchase premium version.

Yes, still if one doesn't prefer to go for it, MBAE setups are available on other trusted sites :)

Yeah, but I don't know how good is it to use discontinued products. I had MBAE for a while and I never got any alerts so I removed it.

I get it.
The exploits it is blocking are not very often seen, though those are common ones (like Java, browser exploits).
Its job is to strengthen the loopholes and prospect methodologies that are vulnerable to be bypassed by malware or taken advantage of, to gain access to other apps maliciously.
This makes the defence part in majority and doesn't usually notify.

Though discontinued, it can be of relief for sometime till we dont have good free alternatives (neglecting EMET).
