Malwarebytes plus what you have already seems to a good combo. It is what I have and no problems at all.

I use what you have in the OP - no problems so far and I've done scans with Sophos / Symantec which have found nothing.

Use what you have listed, plus common sense and you'll be fine.

Another vote for running Malwarebytes occasionally here.

Firefox + adblock + AV

Nothing else is required.
