I have installed malwarebytes anti-malware(free), super antispyware(free), MSE and Comodo Firewall(free) in my computer. Will my computer work fine or is too much overloader? Any other good combination of these kinds of software?
Also I want to install Glary utilities for cleaning up registry, defrag and those kind of things. Will it interfere with the MSE, comodo, etc that I have?
Answers will be gladly appreciated.
I use Avast, MBAM, and super, all live, and work fine, and I use ccleaner to clean, what you have is ok, will work just fine.

You have a good recipe for stuffing up a computer, all of the freebies named are not worth a squirt,
and nine of the registry cleaners should be used. A friend of mine insisted on using this crud until I refused to fix his computer. If you were meant to stuff around in the registry Gates and company would have given you a program to do it.

you’ve got so much stuff in there the system will be so busy checking itself it will
never let anything leave the building…each thing uses memory capacity and like your
bank acct, you only have so much memory to work with to start with. A good simple anti
virus that is recommended by both Consumers Report, Chgo Tribune, and others is the
Avira Anti Virus…from Germany….costs nothing…can download it free at no cost and it
will guard the system against all this other stuff you have on there or anything out there
trying to get to your system….extremely effective and doesnt cost a dime. check it
out. that was the problem with the old Norton product, it was so busy checking everything
it couldnt get out of its own way to let you send anything or receive anything; it ruined their
name both with people and industry…had it/hated it…they’ve since found the errors of
their ways, but is too pricey for the average joe.

Since you added Comodo Firewall be sure to turn off the windows firewall…otherwise you’ll have problems….other than that your fine…Glary Utilities I use along with CC Cleaner….but I like Glary alot better….keeps more of the registry clean and has a few more bells and whistles on it then CC Cleaner…….

All of them eat resources and can seriously affect internet speed. Having a firewall and anti-virus running will keep out unsolicited attacks, but for the most part spyware and system hijackers get in because the user allowed it. It’s mostly common sense.
There is limited understanding of how firewalls and anti-virus work and if you just use the default settings they work fine, but if you spend some time learning how to configure them they can be pretty transparent and place a limited load on the system.
If you are really concerned and have inexperienced people or kids using it, make sure they use a guest account which has limited permissions as far as changing the system or installing programs and set the security levels in internet explorer to high.
There has been so much fear mongering spread around about registry errors and problems you have to ask yourself, why hasn’t Microsoft created a tool to "fix" the registry? YOU DON’T NEED IT!
The registry is extremely stable considering and has internal repair abilities, mostly due to redundancy and a high level of error tolerance. The tools that are provided, disk cleanup and defragmenting work fine when used regularly as maintenance tools.
Performance is all about keeping resource usage to a minimum. Get familiar with the task manager and what processes are running,
