Is it enough to have just 1-2 anti-spyware and anti-malware, etc. programs? do i need more?

Answer 1

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/... On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps

Answer 2

I use four antispyware programs. One antivirus program as you can only use one, or you will have serious conflict with your system. Plus one good firewall, zone alarm free for home personal use. If you have the resources four antispyware programs are good, because one will always find what the others miss or unable to delete.

Answer 3

Use one antivirus program and two antispyware programs.
You will only really need one antispyware program with resident shield (24/7 protection). I personally have one antivirus with 3 antispyware programs, but none of the antispyware programs have resident shields, I just do manual scans once a week with them.

Answer 4

you only need 1 anti virus program and 1 spyware program and (recommended) to have internet security package
