Personally id keep 'spyware blaster' and remove Ad-aware, AVG8 and winpatrol
If you DO remove AVG 8, uninstall it then use the removal tool (Else youll hit problems later on)
Use the 32 bit AVG removal tool

Id replace AVG with AVIRA anti virus
Download AVIRA ANTI VIRUS PERSONAL (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')

Why remove Adaware; it seems that it is one of the most recommended utilities I seen.
This is not to direspect your advice, just to understand more

No need to be embarrassed about it Apre'
Ive found Ad-Aware next to useless compared to Malwarebytes and Superantispyware
Spybots also good for its immunise feature (Stops nasties at the source)
AVG 8 has a very poor detection rate next to Avira:idea:0
