Icedrake Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 You can use Avast! but I'm not sure if you should be running the real-time protection of two anti-spyware programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i got windows defender, avast, malwarebytes, ad-aware I should disable all but one? avast, avira, malwarebytes, ad-aware, superantispyware, windows defender--------paragon, macrium reflect, ubuntu, terabyte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 No. Always keep an anti-virus running (Avast), and an anti-spyware running (i vote for MalwareBytes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ident Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 ok im confused since im not too familiar with anti-viruses. what do you mean by always keep an anti-virus running, and an anti-spyware running? does that mean real-time protection like avast's on-access scanner and malwares bytes protection module? He means exactly what he said, Keep an anti virus running all the time in your case avast. and keep a anti malware like malware bytes always running real time. Dont get confused with avast and the rest, avast is seperate. its ur anti virus. They can both run together(avast and MB) There is no need for 3 real times running (not including avast) I dont have a anti virus running at all. or malware adware etc No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hi, hello2007. There is a good summary of safety procedures here: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=20214 Also, down the page a bit is a list of Security Programs that work well together. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.
