Re: How Do I Keep Naughty Regestry Keys out?

If you're getting so many infections that you need 2 AVs, you might want to consider changing your surfing habits and download sources, or at least switch from IE (which uses ActiveX) to the safer Firefox.

Is your security software catching viruses or other forms of malware? Are they from websites or downloads? Do you ever google the detected infections to see whether they are actually harmful or just minor or false positives?

You can keep both AVG and Avast but just use the one that uses the least system resources for realtime scanning, and disable the other one's realtime features and then use it for weekly scans.
