    Hi, I am trying my best I create a secure and convienient setup for my computer system.

    All of my current software work perfectly in conjunction with one another and they are all pretty light on memory / CPU usage.

    I would be greatfull if anyone knows of any security issues (e.g. other software) that might be nessasery.

    As I am on x64, I'll be the first to admit that if I was on x86, the amount of software would be considerably lower, but in this case
    I would like a rock solid security setup.

    Thanks in advance :)

    No, just overly cautious, nothing wrong with that.

    I assume you use IE, Windows Firewall etc.

    FAG.

    No, that's not really what we use the poll feature here on the forum. Giving a 1 to 10 rating on a security setup that is that complex is basically worthless. Poll deleted.

    I would remove one of the AV's. Running two is asking for trouble. In fact, I'm surprised the second one installed at all.

    Secure from what?
    A user deciding to ruin his machine? A worm? A mail attachment you want to open no matter what? A browser exploit?
