The problem isn't really your memory or lack thereof, the problem is that each one of those products is hooking into your TCP/IP stack and trying to intercept packets. You could essentially consider those programs to be fighting amongst themselves about who gets to intrepret/interrupt the packet first and then possibly even altering the packet and thus confusing the other programs watching your stack. In other words, pick a good firewall product and stick with it, don't run multiple ones. I am suprised you haven't had the problem before this...bad things happen when multiple programs vie for the same data at the same time...
