Dan the creator of VoodooShield was impressed by OSArmor and said that there was no problem running them side by side. I personally have stopped using VS because I found it too chatty and not completely stable at times.
Inspired by @Nightwalker I'm using Window defender (tweaked for maximum protection by @Andy Ful s Configure Defender, Comodo Firewall tweaked with @cruelsister s settings and OSArmor at default settings.
I'm at to moment very pleased with this setup.

So the short answer is: no there is no overkill.

Would it be a good idea to use OSArmor, VoodooShield, and Windows Defender? If so, what should I remove or replace?
Why not? I use them all, plus ERP 4, and have no problems.

The only issue is OSArmor has so many options, it's a pain to know what will or won't work with your system, without some trial and error. Personally, I enable all options and then use "Passive Logging" to identify from my daily workflow what processes/actions/tasks need an exclusion rule.

Same setup as me minus the OSArmour. My system is running great with this setup.
