I just got an email from a friend, saying her computer runs slow because she has a TON of virus & firewalls running. Here's the list of what she has installed, I would really appreciate if someone could tell me what she does NOT need. Norton Security AVG 7.5 McAfee ZoneAlarm Spyware Doctor Ad-Watch 2007 Ad-Aware 2007 Thanks in advance for any and all help.
last time i checked Mcafee and Norton and few others do not go along with each other and will slow down or will become null (each cancelling each other). tell your friend to use mcafee or norton or AVG or zonealarm adaware and adwatch
I think only AVG and Zonealarm works good. There is no need of any other software IMO. I am using both since last 2 years without having any problem. DON.
Exactly Don. I am also using same software for last 4 years and don't have any issue Moreover you can also try Avast
To everyone that posted, I really appreciate your help. She ended up removing everything except AVG and ZA, but also liked the features that Panda offers, so she'll probably give it a try tomorrow. THANKS EVERYONE!
People need only 1 antivrus and 1 spyware remover IMO or maybe 2 spyware removers but def 1 antivirus software
