Multiple antivirus programs?

i THINK i am increasing protection by having :



Advanced WindowsCare v2 Personal



CCleaner



AVG Free edition



Any other thoughts???



Multiple antivirus programs?ducati



Neither Advanced WindowsCare v2 Personal, nor CCleaner



are any kind of an anti-malware program. They will do nothing to protect you. They are strictly clean-up utilities.



For complete security for you computer, you would need to add (in addition to your AVG anti-virus):



1. For your Firewall..........(Always use only 1 software firewall)



A decent free firewall that is PC Tools Firewall Plus. One can either choose "Normal User Mode" Or "Expert User Mode"'depending on the desired detail of alerts and application custom rules.



It is one of the few free firewalls that will work (and work well) on Vista as well as XP and 2000.

2. For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs...............(use at least 1 anti-spyware, but 2 is OK):



SUPERAntiSpyware:

Spybot Search and Destroy:

Ewido (now known as AVG Anti-spyware) Do NOT download AVG Anti-virus.:
