I've been reading about malware in a few different forums, and a lot of people recommend installing several anti-malware apps. But if you do that, don't you have to make sure they're not all in the Start menu, so they don't run all at once and collide?

To avoid malware infections, should I permanently disable Java and ActiveX in Internet Explorer? How about Javascript? If I should also disable Javascript, should I just disable Active scripting, or all options? But I don't also need to disable any of these in Windows itself, right?
