My Anti Virus Combinations!! - GLO13AL_T3RROR - 10-21-2009
I was wondering if you think if its a good idea to use the following combinations of anti-virus, though i am using it right now.
-Norton 360
-Windows Defender
-Malwarebytes Anti Malware
-Security 360 Pro
-Windows patrol

Generally combining av is a bad idea. It causes all sorts of software conflicts and can slow your system to a crawl. Pick an av, any av, and stick with it.

Well, I would recommend Kaspersky.

As long as all aren't started at once, and aren't used at once (unless they are compatible) I don't really see a problem. I would recommend Avast Pro though.

Definitely Kaspersky for your first choice, if not, try ESET Nod32.
Keep Malware Bytes, great program.

Use one at a time with Microsoft Security Essentials.

If you want to use a combinations of antivirus, I would suggest if you want to use two antivirus to only leave one with Real-time protection, and the other one just use it for scan. The best combination will be:
Antivirus+Anti-Malware+Anti-Spyware+Anti-adware= to better protection.
