I was just wondering how many anti spyware programs it is best to have installed on your computer? I have three and was wondering if that is too many. Helen |

You can never have too many programs installed, so long as you don't have them running at the same time. One program may pick up something the others miss. Me, I have 4 or 5, plus a couple of AntiVirus programs. Nothing's wrong with being too safe. |

I would think that it wouldn't matter as long as it gets the spyware off of your computer. |

Cool! That's alright then. I thought it wasn't a good idea to have more then one anti virus program as they may conflict with each other? That's what I was told anyway. Helen |

That is correct. However, if you have one constantly disabled and only open it to run scans, it should be fine to have more than one AntiVirus program installed. |
