Hi

If you download more than one anti-virus program, make sure you only have one running at startup. It is not a good idea to have more than one anti-virus program running in the background, because they could use too much memory or could interfere with each other. If more than one is running at startup, you can disable the one you don't want running by using the msconfig function.

You can use the msconfig function by doing this:

1. Press the Start button on your desktop.

2. Press Run

3. Type in msconfig

4. Go to the Startup tab and uncheck the startup items you do not want to start.

If you are unsure about what to shut down, research the name of the startup item before you shut it down. Some of the anti-virus and anti-spyware have programs under the Services section as well. If you shut down programs using msconfig, you will need to restart your computer so the changes will take effect.

I think you have too much installed on your computer. I only have Spyware Terminator, Ad-Aware Free 2007, Super Anti-Spyware, and AVG Anti-Virus installed, and they all do well protecting my computer. If you want some free anti-spyware and anti-virus programs, you can go to www.download.com to get them, instead of paying for some.
