Do you happen to know the name of the Malwarebytes background service off the top of your head? (if not then don't worry about it) :)
No, I no longer use Malwarebytes or other on-demand scanners. Launch a VM, install Malwarebytes to find out.

Will the other features like ransom-ware protection etc.. will stay active even after disabling real time protection?
No, because the process for those components won't be running. I should have been clear, my example was in regards to Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Never used any other Malwarebytes' software.

Presently:
1a. 360 Total Security
1b. Private Firewall
3. MBAM Pro
4. EMET 5.2

360 covers alot of ground, so the first two were close. I was trying to decide how many I should say, because 360 includes a sandbox and some HIPS for folder and system/file protection. Private Firewall also has HIPS rules. On browser extensions, NoScript does employ anti-exploit protections as part of the add-on, so it's hard not to include it, even though I didn't to comply with the ground rules for the poll. NS blocks seen and unseen link redirects (when a site silently redirects from one location for a link to another where there could be invisible malware).

I see alot of potential in the concepts in EMET, but I think Comodo Firewall and CIS employ some good memory mitigation techniques natively. EMET doesn't really come with a strategy, and I have had a hard time developing one.

Private Firewall for the ease of managing connections and connection rules. It's really amazing how much easier PF makes this over the Windows firewall. The logging is excellent too, and I like that you can see even what processes do. MBAM in real time is as good as stated far and wide...
