Well, for those of you who are up to date on the news, you should already know that current methods of fighting Malware real-time is starting to become obselete, and of course, defeated easilly. I came across a program called GeSWall which is basically a mix between an anti-malware program such as MBAM, and a sandbox such as Sandboxie. The neat thing is, what it's primary purpose is for is to isolate untrusted programs such as web browsers, e-mail clients and IM programs, and of course download managers from the system. What this does is, should you come along something that is malware infested and you execute it, or it executes on it's own, because it is isolated and marked as "untrusted", the malware will fail to run entirely, as it has no rights what so ever. Also, should it remain running, you can terminate isolated applications on the spot.
You guys should try checking it out and seeing how you like it. The free version will work great, but of course the paid version offers a bit more protection and a few other tools.

If you guys want any nasties to throw at this program, try throwing some Malware such as Antivirus 1. Just take note, that if you do download some nasties, you should only try them on a machine that has a clean install of Windows after a multi-pass zero fill format (to make sure everything that used to be on the drive is completely corrupted) from Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN), and is isolated from the network. Much of the malware these days will in fact gather data from My Documents and transmit it to a server, and some of the ones out there will modify every system file possible (including boot.ini, NTLDR, etc). If you want me to link you to some nasty files, I can find a few and send them to you.
