anti virus programs

I have been using AVG anti-virus program and recently installed Avast also. Do I need both programs? Also, it seems that my computer has been running slower since I installed the Avast Program. Could this be the reason? I am using Windows ME.

Re: anti virus programs

Hi pueblo


Only use one "real-time" antivirus program at a time. (A "real-time" antivirus program runs all the time, protecting your computer whenever it is powered on. Both avast! and AVG antivirus are "real-time" scanners).

By the way: have only one firewall installed also.

Best of luck
