And thats it, tell me what you think :)

P.S I used to use Sandboxie with Firefox but I decided to remove it because it was causing to many problems with my wife using the computer plus i got a bit lazy with it lol ;)

Your config is very good.. Running Comodo firewall with D+ and avast as well as having the on demand scanners.. The only thing i could think to suggest, would be backing up your system in case you ever need to restore it.

Very nice !
You can add Superantispyware and Webroot SecureAnywhere !

I don't think Webroot SecureAnywhere would be of any benefit, plus it's not free.

You can use SAS as an on-demand scanner, but I haven't seen it performing well. I would think MBAM and HMP are minimum.

Nice config in choosing Avast for your real-time.

What settings have you modified in Avast?

You could try add MalwarBytes to the setup you have Justin!

MalwareBytes is beast addition for any pc! :D

Good security configuration!
Any special settings for the COMODO Firewall?
What was your previous security setup?
When was the last time you got infected?

I would suggested that you try a password manager because not only it will give you more security on the internet but it will also make your life easier.
Additional browser plugins :

LastPass (Free) - link
LastPass is an online password manager and form filler that makes web browsing easier and more secure.

From started configuration it looks good.

You can add a hardening tool to protect some vulnerabilities on common products by exploit. Enhanced Mitigation Experienced Toolkit.
