nice setup however may i suggest avira antivirus instead of the avg as avg is not that great at detecting i will also give u a link for avira and a comparison from an independant lab

if u r happy w/ avg keep it though i am not saying its bad i just htink there is something a bit better
i would also put a hosts file in

and possibly use iespyads

generally speaking u r more secure than most just remember to practice safe surfing habits as even the best security wont prevent all malware
i'd give it a 9

AVG is not the best anti-virus program, has a low detection rate. Try the one below, has a much higher rating. Also, use Ad Aware & SpywareBlaster.
