having two anti virus systems on your computer at the same time

could under certain circumstances cause a complete system crash.

they will slow down your computer to a virtual standstill.

having two can reduce the effectiveness of both by as much as 75%.

There is simply no point in trying to run two because they will be both looking for the same thing.



with your anti virus

Why not run an anti spyware application and you can run a anti malware app beside it.

malwarebytes and super anti spyware

will both run together and both can be run with your anti virus system.



malwarebytes : http://www.malwarebytes.org/



super anti spyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/



they both need to be paid for of course

so you get the realtime protection otherwise there is just no point in having them.

they both look after different parts of your system,

so you should see no real difference in the speed of your computer

so long as you have got enough RAM to handle them.



you should also look into using sandboxie when browsing the internet.

with all that in place you will probably never get infected again.

I can only give you this recommendation but rest assured we uses this in our college network administrative level PC and all over the network.

I my friends all so do this.

First you can't use Two Virus gurads on your PC .

Why ? Windows protocols commands will go hay wire

Why again ? If you do install let say as an example Symantec & Bit defender ....

The first installed virus application will not be able to function it's windows operations while at the same time secondly installed virus application all so will not be able to function it's operations as well.

They will be competing with each other to gain access to Windows kernel operations rather than to protecting the PC.

This is not FUNNY ! Understand that very thoroughly at all costs.

In another words each virus guard will stay away from Anti virus operations Assuming that other Available application must be the Anti virus program and VISE - VERSA.



So how do you do it?



Install a your choice of Anti virus program and all so Install a Anti spy-where program after viewing what's best for you (your choice again)



Now you might ask WHY ANTI-SPYWHERE ONLY? ? ? ? ? ?

Currently EXISTING anti virus applications do allow an Integration of SECONDARY HOST to there anti virus program. Even though anti virus programs do have it's OWN ANTI-SPYWHERE component to it self . It allow Integration ONLY ANOTHER ANTI-SPYWHERE application where it will (it has to) be SUPERIOR (Virus guard) and the anti-spywhere is INFERIOR. (Master - slave)

This the only way you can achieve what you have asked .....



So what are good ANTI SPYWHERE programs ?

Sunbelt Counterspy

Web root spy sweeper.

These are the only very best available right now.



We have installed Symantec NIS 2009 and Counterspy in our College for more than 18 months.

And my PC have Symantec NIS 2010 and Counter spy all so. And I been using counter spy Integration ever since 2008.

If you really do want Dual layer protection this the only PERMITTED , ALLOWED way and manner it can be achieved.

Everybody is an expert, so just pick one. You have two different answers that cross different spectrum's of computer protection, one for the home user and one for a server based system. You'll get many more suggestions, Everyone has a favorite for what ever reason. Every thing is by trial and error until you find what is best for your operating system, based on exactly what it is that you do. The protection I need may not even be close to what you need and what you need may not be what I need. I dual boot all my systems and run Linux 90% of the time, don't run Windows on the Internet.

Okay pay attention: I have no antivirus of any kind. My computer never slows down, never crashes. I have sound editors, synthesizers, photo editors, video editing, office suite, all of which was free.

When my operating releases newer versions they install automatically. Linux my friend.
