Spybot Search and Destroy is the best out of the listed programs in my opinion.

Ignore the rest and uninstall them.

I personally think is overkill. The only one I use is Spyware Blaster and I find that sufficient for my needs.
So, I would keep Spyware Blaster and Spyware Terminator from your list. They are the best two and if you want a third I would say AVG Anti Spyware. :)

Maybe overkill? But better to be safe. :D

Do these applications only use system resources when they're running? If so, keep em on (assuming HD space isn't an issue).

All well and good but will any of them defend against this?
