    I'll turn on my built-in Windows XP Pro SP2 Firewall set to no exceptions, and I'll only use Firefox browser w NoScripts and SpoofStick extensions, and a limited user account when surfing the net. Also, w hardening systems.. SafeXP, Harden-IT and Windows Worm Doors Cleaners.

    My final selection:

    1) SHADOWUSER PRO
    2) NOD32
    3) PROCESSGUARD FULL
    4) LNS

    I have also RegDefend and AdMuncher but the four I've chosen make up my perfect system (IMO!)

    2.) ewido full

    3.) A-squared Pro

    4.) SpywareBlaster OR Hijackthis ;) (haven't fully decided yet)

    1)CHX-I(configure a basic outbound not relating to apps and have the best spi available)
    2)NOD32(should stop mostly everything before entering)
    3)Proxomitron(should make my browsers pretty invulnerable)
    4)HijackThis!(If i get infected, I can then research and get rid of the baddy, no problem)

    Sweet, only 3 realtime programs :D

    From what i've read from what everyone is using i'm going to choose between Ewido, Online-Armour and Process Guard. Could someone please explain do these programs crossover in their protection/detections, would it be beneficial to own all three or would i be wasting my money?

    ewido is an antitrojan while pg and online armor are HIPS. HIPS may vary in their function but they usually alert if a process does a certain action, if certain files are modified that kind of thing. they dont rely on signatures much.
