Question by aaa: Which is better for my computer security?
Regarding my computer security, is it better for me to install 2 anti-virus softwares or just 1 anti-virus?
Best answer:
Answer by JTB
One. And one firewall.
Anti-adware/spyware/malware are ok to have more of.
Should you run more than one antivirus program at the same time?
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/2000031316555206
Symantec strongly recommends that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and can result in program conflicts and false virus alerts. Your best defense against computer viruses and malicious programs is to keep your virus definitions up to date, and run Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect. If you choose to install more than one antivirus program on your computer, then only one of them should be active in memory at a time. (The Norton AntiVirus module that is active in memory is named Auto-Protect. Other antivirus programs will have different names for this function.)

Question by Daniel: Any good free download virus free programs that can help clean my pc better to playonline games better?
Opinions please. Ive downloaded CC cleaner, i got disk cleaner which came for free on my Compaq Windows 7 computer, and disk defragment and Netron Antivirus (which will expire soon) so is their anything good? So my pc can be faster when i install and play online games and browse the net faster with less lag?

Answer by McGubbins
CC Cleaner does an excellent job, you won’t find anything else as good for free in my opinion. You could type msconfig in the run dialogue box, this brings up a panel where you choose the startup tab. From there you can disable programs that don’t need to be run when the computer starts, it may help.

Question by Felix: Is there an antivirus software available to download for free that is better than Norton?
I have Norton through Comcast and it seems to slowdown my laptop. There are always background tasks going on (I read all the “they only run when idle” answers by the guy from Norton and I’m not buying it since it happens when my laptop isn’t idle) and I’m sick of using it. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
