    my anti virus consists of Malwarebytes, super antispyware, avg and the firewall is Comodo

    Avg isnt picking up virus that much compared to Malwarebytes and super antispyware so im just wondering what's better than avg ?

    Im also thinking of getting a new firewall, should I change and if so what would the recommmendation be

    What OS are you running? Is there some particular reason why you use a 3rd-party firewall?

    I'd replace everything with just MSE and use Malwarebytes occasionally for scanning.

    So you don't need a 3rd party firewall then (unless you get up to some real kinky stuff).

    Unless you have the realtime versions of super anti spyware and Malwarebytes, then it's fine to have them installed for running once-off scans. The free AVG is, in my opinion, not up to it anymore and MSE is, for now, a better product.
