Hi- I use Avg free- I believe that I am pretty content with it- I do
occasional online scans-This is also what I have: ZA free,ad-aware
free,stinger,ss&d, trend micro sysclean scanner,spyblaster, bazooka,
cwshredder,hmmmm did I forget anything?? anyways, I found out that everytime
I'd scan with a different program for spyware, that it would pick up
somthing different the the others did not. So Is it ok to have 2 different
av programs installed on the pc or would they clash??I think that they may,
but maybe there are two that compliment each other and dont- thanks for
opinions.
