Hi there Paul

You may have more than one malware scanner on your system as long as it is not background scanning. If you was to cut down on the number of applications that you have installed I myself would keep Spybot and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware as scanners, one reason for keeping spybot is that it has a function called tea timer which can monitor and prevent certain changes to the registry. Please note that this is only my own opinion and other opinions would vary, each to their own as to speak!

If for any reason you are unhappy with your current virus checker you may also wish to try Antivir free Like AVG, Antivir is also free and has an excellent detection rate.

Hope this answers your question.
