Should I use Threat Fire?

I am currently using Avira AntiVir Personal and I use Comodo Firewall with Defense+ (HIPS)

Should I also use this Threat Fire in conjunction with those first two, or is it overkill?

Thanks

I've settle with Avast & Comodo and use Emsisoft, Malwarebytes, and Superantispyware on demand. From what I've read, you don't want to run more than one AV or Firewall in live mode.

I forgot to mention that I use Spywareblaster too. Bad idea?

No, you don't need it.

I used to have Threatfire (even back when it was CyberHawk), a good program and played nice W/ both Avast and Comodo, but decided when going to Windows 7 not to install it as it is overkill for the beaten path I surf. It doesn't use many resources, and is certainly good if you want to try it, but unless you surf willy nilly :), you might not need it. A Guy

Seems to be a bit of conflict between the two of you .... Stillfreefilms and Greg S

No, not any conflict. ThreatFire is a great security app and I can configure it to be just as powerful if not more than D+. As others have mentioned, with the setup mentioned, it would be overkill especially in the part of choking your system down. If this question was asked a little over a year ago I would have said go for it. Somewhere around the 3.5'ish version, ThreatFire for me became a serious system slow downer,lol. It did this in a very stealth kind of way. After the update, I looked at the resoruce usage of TF and noticed that TF's part had actually dropped quite a bit but the overall system usage had increased over a hundred megs. I later found out that TF had injected a DLL into most all running processes which attributed to what I called a serious system slowdown for me.
