I have AVG Free AND SpywareBlaster running.
Do I need both ? Just wondered if AVG Free stops everything that SWB does ?
AVG free is an antivirus and detects viruses, worms, trojans and some other malware.
Spywareblaster does not detect these, but prevents spyware being installed on your computer using a few different methods.
Using both is a good idea, as they cover different areas of the malware spectrum.
definition updates and then run AdAware, MS Defender (W2k/XP) and Spybot, fixing anything they say.
I have heard that running too many antivirus etc can slow down surfing and your computer - is this right ?
Hi yep that's true..One Antivirus program only..but you can used more than one spyware program as listed by MFDnSC above.
New What does this mean?
