Personally-speaking, on my computer I'm currently running real-time:
Norton Internet Security
SuperAntiSpyware Pro
Mamutu
Zemana AntiLogger
Ad Muncher
Spyware Blaster
WinPatrol Pro
with Spybot Search & Destroy and Malwarebyte's AntiMalware as on-demand scanner. I've hardened my browsers as much as is reasonable and still allow usable functioning of them.

Holy $DEITY!
those programs must eat up 95% of your CPU cycles and slow down any disk activity tenfold.
Have you considered running on Linux? At least for browsing? At least from a virtual machine?
Give Mint Linux a try. Works nicely out of the box and if something screws it anyway, you simply reinstall, leaving your Windows partition untouched.
There *is* some learning curve, but you seem to be experienced veteran ...
