BOClean can be installed together with a security suite.
For a reliable anti-virus program, Avira is fine for use. Do note that you can only use one anti-virus program.
For general malware protection, you may also like to consider SpyBlaster. SpyBlaster prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software. It also blocks spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox. It can also restrict the actions of potentially unwanted sites in Internet Explorer.

For a firewall, you can simply use Windows Firewall, or reply on a free commercial firewall such as ZoneAlarm. You may also like to read the Firewalls FAQ that I've compiled.

For a registry cleaner, you can use the one that CCleaner has. Or Eusing is another free alternative.

Good luck!
There won't be any problem if you use BOClean along with Avira AntiVir Security Suite, but it's unnecessary and may slow down your system. AntiVir security suite is a complete and excellent security suite, so you don't need any other additional security software. I also think Windows Vista Ultimate has in-built Windows Defender, which is a very good anti-spyware utility. You can use it instead of Comodo BOClean.
You have got a good security suite, but I can definitely recommend some system optimization and registry cleaning programs:
CCleaner (2-in-1)
http://ccleaner.com/
Advanced Windows Care Personal (2-in-1)
http://iobit.com/
Glary Utilities free version (2-in-1)
http://www.glaryutilities.com/gu.html
All the three are free and excellent, you can get all of them. Glary utilities is best for system optimization, Advanced Windows Care Personal is excellent for registry cleaning and spyware blocking. CCleaner is unmatched for quick and effective junk file cleaning.
Only have one antivirus program and one firewall installed on your computer.
Anti-adware, spyware, malware programs are okey to have more of.
