*Good* security software supports Safe Hex, bad security software (as all
"Anti-spyware" software is) rather breaks it. In fact, even most of the more
renoble security software typically makes the system more insecure.
Generally, adding more software only increases complexity, which is the
major counter player of security. Therefore, the general advice is to remove
as much software as possible, not adding new one.
As for the real-time scanning and behaviour blocking, it fails blatantly in
the real world.
