I ended up not buying a Coolingpad because I read stuff online saying that it doesn't make too much off a difference and that I can use 2 books (Yeah, I know.) under my laptop.

How is my config looking now?

Looks very good. :)

I might install Comodo Internet Security 6 when it releases. Reading a LOT of good things about it lately all over the internet.

I think I might move back to MSE w/ COMODO Firewall if the final version of CIS doesn't impress me.

I am used to MSE's lightness and CAV makes my laptop lag. It just 'feels' slower.

MSE has never ran well on my machines, I think avast is lighter.

Yeah MSE gave me spikes out of nowhere when I used it. CAV and Avast was always lighter to me. Odd that you are experiencing slowdowns, but it happens.

Only thing that I have a thing for MSE is that it's has no web shield and is slow removing threats.

Ah, in that case, I will go to Avast! + COMODO Firewall.

Threat removal speed has increased, but no web shield means that MSE users can use it without having a legit site blocked, or slowed down browsing speed.

I guess it took a while but my computer seems to be working at proper speeds now with no lags. I guess CIS needed time to adjust or maybe I just got adjusted to this.

Anyway, do you guys reckon I upgrade to MBAM PRO?

When I used MBAM Pro I did notice slowdowns except if I used it by itself.
Its RAM can spike but usually only once in awhile.
If you do choose to upgrade, I recommend that you disable its Web Blocker as its more of a IP detector and its just full of FP.

Wasn't there an issue between avast! webshield and CFW and Windows 7 Firewall and TinyWall and PF?

Or has this been fixed from avast! end?

Well I haven't used the combination since the final version of Avast v6 but I never experienced a problem with it. So Im guessing its been fixed for awhile.

version 7 had that problem and last I checked, a couple of months ago was still ongoing.

since I have lost connection for awhile, I haven't been updating myself on the issue.

No real time protection? Ehhhhh...........

Really not a good idea even though you know what your doing.

Why aren't you using any real time protection?

I just added the last few lines in the OP. Explains why.

I have the installer for Avast!, MSE ready but I want to check this out for a while.

Avast is really light on my laptop (about identical to CIS roughly) I would suggest that.
