818204 2009-10-08 20:31:00 I'm using Avast & Comodo Home on Vista.
Should I be using Bit Defender as well, or am I inviting a conflict?
TIA

No - you should only ever run one Anti-virus at a time, as they have a tendency to see each other as virus's.

You should, however, have at least one dedicated malware removal app installed as well. I'd use two or three if you engage in high-risk internet activity like p2p, browsing torrent sites etc:

- Malwarebytes
- SuperAntiSpyware
- Spybot

818206 2009-10-08 22:24:00 Thanks, I do use Malwarebyts & Spybot.
As for the Bit defender, I disable it? or delete it?
Either case I assume there is no need to keep it up to date?
I use FF eg. but I still need to keep IE up to date I gather.
Thanks Again.

818209 2009-10-08 23:40:00 Should be in add/remove programs. If you didnt delete its folder. But if you didnt install it, obviously you cant uninstall it Speedy Gonzales (78)

818213 2009-10-09 02:46:00 Try using Revo's "hunter mode"

Click hunter mode in Revo, then click the Bitdefender update notification.
