nice config, you can add:
- EMET 2.1 (it will harden your softwares) : http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5419
- WOT, Browser Protect, Last Pass, Ghostery and No Script for FF5.
- you should use a back up software (if you dont have) like Paragon Back-up and Rrecovery free or Easeus Todo Backup free
- Comodo Cleaning Essential (not absolutly necessary but very effective if you are ever infected)

Thanks I will check out EMET 2.1. As far as the rest I just didn't go into full detail about my add-ons. I use AdblockPlus with easylist sub, noscript, Ghostery and WOT in Firefox 5.
AdblockPlus and Disconnect in ChromePlus and SRWare Iron.
For backups I use Acronis True Image, EASEUS Partition Master 8.0.1 Home Edition and IDrive, as well as Synkron and Dropbox for sync. And I have a terabyte Seagate Desk as external.
Other notable soft I use...
Ccleaner, Peerblock, Partition Assistant Home "for partitioning", Secunia PSI and File Hippo for update checking, Virtual Box, Auslogics registry cleaner, Auslogics Disk defrag and Quicksys RegDefrag, Process Explorer, Public DNS tool for switching dns servers to Norton if I need to. and you know by now I like screenshots...lol, so here is a screen of my clean up folder.

Their is no real need for so much real-time security , as you know CIS comes with a pretty powerful HIPS (D+) which can prevent any malware from installing on your system.If you are the "paranoid" type I would suggest to remove MBAM and insted tweak COMODO Defense+ for maximum security.
One thing that would really improve your security would be Sandboxie.
Virtualization:
Sandboxie (Free/Paid) - link
Sandboxie runs your programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.
Umbrapolaris suggested that you use EMET so to configure it you should follow this guide by rationallyPARANOID.
With SRWare Iron, you might prefer to use the in-built adblocker. Adblocking extensions for Chromium based browsers only hide the ads while SRWare Iron's adblocker blocks them. Only Fanboy's list is maintained for it (as far as I know) and you can only update it manually.
Place adblock.ini in the SRWare Iron directory (Windows) or /opt (Linux, MacOS).

Thanks for your suggestions Jack. I used sandboxie a couple of years ago and didn't like it much, but I haven't given it another shot since. I really liked Returnil for a while also, but kept forgetting to allow my changes before reboot for the files I downloaded and wanted to keep, and hence lost them and had to re-download so it just became a pain. With Comodo's sandbox feature, and using Virtualbox when i'm doing something that could be harmful like when testing software. Do you really think I still need something like sandboxie?

As far as I know COMODO doesn't have an on-demand Sandbox in which you can run your browser.As for Virtual Box...well that's a virtual system.
Sandboxie is easy to use and will allow you to quickly run in a virtual environment any application or your browser.I would suggest to always run your browser in the sandbox mode but if you don't like it ,you can at least use it when your doing some dangerous surfing.
Another virtualization option would be BufferZone Pro.
BufferZone Pro (Free) - link
BufferZone creates an isolated environment called the Virtual Zone. The Virtual Zone "buffers" your PC from all forms of known or unknown attacks that originate from the Internet and external devices. All of your private information is secured in a trusted and separated environment.

Comodo actually has two sandboxes. I wish they would do more to make this fact more readily apparent.
The automatic sandbox is a limited access rights type sandbox, (similar to Chrome's sandbox technique) not full virtualization. However, version 6 is promised to support full virtualization in the auto-sandbox.
The manual sandbox however, is a fully virtualized environment. You can choose to manually start an application in the sandbox, or permanently sandbox an application.
The manual sandbox is still young, so it isn't very user friendly. For this reason, I still use Sandboxie.
