I use standalone anti-virus (AVG Antivirus Guard) and standalone firewall (ZoneAlarm Pro) and neither fails. As for utility suite, I use System Mechanic Pro for the fun of it.l
I also find stand alone to be the answer, av-pc-cillin, both spybot and spyblaster, and my uninstaller is the original quarterdeck cleansweep.It is a very good product but the company was purchased by symentec (norton) and is no longer sold as original. if you can find a copy i reccomend it.
