Do I need more protection?

Currently I am using:
- Avast Home
- Malwarebytes paid version
- Superanti-spyware free
- Spyware Blaster
- Windows Defender (realtime disabled)
- Comodo firewall

On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate my current protection?

I'm thinking about adding Spyware Terminator, Spybot S&D and Threatfire Anti-virus as extra protection, is this necessary or will it only slow down my system?

Thanks in advance
 
I'd say it's a bit of an overkill :P
It'd rate it like 12 out of 10. You don't have to worry about anything with that much protection and you shouldn't have to install those others, that would only slow your computer down. How much lagging do you experience with all those installed?
 
Protectionwise your completely fine you dont need any programs im just as safe with only 2 programs which i use (AntiVir and ZoneAlarm Free Firewall) There is no need for so many things!
 
i dont use any protection on my computer besides centurion technologies hardware lock software. so if i were to get a virus all i have to do is reboot the hard drive and its gone back to the last hardware lock.

I take it that is a lot like deep freeze? The problem is that most of your data is stored on a read/write partition and if the virus attached itself to that then you would keep getting it constantly.

Really, to be honest the only way to actually defend yourself against viruses is to make sure you run legit software, don't download any email attachments with out scanning the attachment first, and really don't use Windows. I know that the last statement is not optional as some people really want to run Windows, but with out requiring authentication to run as root, programs can take over your system very easily.
