| 1142580 | 2010-10-08 04:37:00 | I'm running Windows Security Essentials as well as other Anti Spyware programs. MS recommend uninstalling all other anrtispyware and antivirus programs. Should I follow this recommendation and rely entirely on WSE? Up until now I've been using Avast Antivirus which worked well, as well As Spinach AntiSpyware both running all the time for protection. Any thoughts on this from your experience? |

| 1142582 | 2010-10-08 05:32:00 | I take it you're talking about this post pressf1.co.nz You've installed 3 AV programs (Avast, Defender and MSSE). NOT a good idea having 3 installed |

| 1142583 | 2010-10-08 05:36:00 | Microsoft Security Essentials MSSE as main antivirus .... Avast has been overtaken of late. Malwarebytes for anti malware. Spybot for spyware / keyloggers etc. Others may have other programs which they prefer. Personally, I've used those main 3 for quite some time and haven't had any problems. Running two Antivirus programs together can result in conflict and is not recommended. |
