How would a security app be causing bootup issues cuz they only load at start-up don't they?

I have a ton of stuff...my startup is quite long...I am running 73 processes atm and only my browser is open extra...so whilst that does mean startup will take quite a while usually 3-4 minutes till the final app has loaded....that's not related to me occasionaly getting a 3-4 minute bootup on top of that as opposed to the usual 30 second one though is it?

Anyways secruity apps, are AVG 7.5. Spybot S+D, Avast! (which replaced AntiVir Classic), PCtools Firewall Plus and PCtools Threatfire...however once again I don't see how that is linked to an occasionaly really long bootup time...if it was the norm then yes I could see it...but it's not.

And yes Squall I know my strange PC problems provide great entertainment.

Also telling me to all that is well and good...but...how?
