Using Multiple Spyware & Virus Scan
Is it ok to use multiple spyware applications without them getting confused and messed up?
Also, I have Trend Micro Office Scan on my computer, will something like AVG and or Avast interfere with the Trend scan? Thank you! |

If that Trend Micro scan is an online scanner that is only installing an Active- X control, it won't be a problem with your resident anti-virus. However, two resident anti-virus programs are bad news for your computer's health.
