If you always uninstall unused programs correctly, there is very little left over in your registry to worry about, so all I run is a good free Anti Virus (MSFT Security Essentials), Windows firewall, and my routers built in firewall, along with spybot *&D and Malware Bytes.
Running just those few things have kept me problem free for years.

Nice PC guts Art, I see you have a Zalman CNPS CPU cooler, at least it looks like a Zalman, the CNPS are a great line of aftermarket coolers, I ran one for years, now I am using a Thermaltake FRIO...
