First - get rid of both.Second - no one single application protects you from all things. Never has - likely never will. Common sense and understanding are the best protection anyway. Last - get either Avira AntiVir or eSet NOD32 (AV only) for your AV solution and MalwareBytes (free and scan periodically manually or purchase it and get active protection) for your antispytware application. Of course - that is all just my opinion.-- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP --How To Ask Questions The Smart Wayhttp://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Nope, the first and second are the same opinions many of us here have. And the last is almost exactly the same as many of us.

If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one of thefollowing three: AviraAvastMicrosoft Security Essentials You also need anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download andinstall (both freeware) MalwareBytes AntiMalware *and*SuperAntiSpyware. Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP
