Hello and welcome to TSF

You should not have more than one antivrus or firewall installed on a computer at a time. As the cause conflicts with each other and can cause system instabilty

hi, i am from Microsoft Support Team and i have handled many issues relating to antiviruses.
I would suggest you to uninstall both the antiviruses as you may get into some problems of surfing , all bcoz of compatiblity issues. Try and install AVG or Avast and you won't have any problems, also these are much better antiviruses then trend micro and spy sweeper.

Hope this info helps you :)

Take CARE

I agree with Sloth there are better Programs out there that are free.

I personally reccomend Avira PersonalEdition Classic -- A Guide to installation and use of Avira® AntiVir PE
