Reply: (edit)justin, there're a few items that MUST run at startup. Take a look at the list @:

Only items not on your list that I'd recommend are Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware for malware. They use different databases so I'd use both.
Spybot (get V1.2 or better)

Spybot's homepage is often busy.
