Install Comodo Firewall or Outpost Firewall+avast+MBAM you will have a good protection.
2 AV in the same time is not recomended.
Now I use Comodo Firewall+Kaspersky antivirus 2010+MBAM+Win Patrol+Spy Sweeper.

I'm going to stick with 4.0.474 for a month or so and let the dust settle before I upgrade...

From the posted change-log it's all bug fixes. If you weren't having problems there wouldn't be anything to notice.
