O.P.  AntiVirus
 Which anti virus programs do you use, and what do you recomend.  Do you think I should get rid of some, because currently I am using 4.  Norton, MS AntiSpyware, Symantec, and Spysweeper.  I also have XoftSpy and Ad-Aware, but those don't offer real time protection.  Is that more than enough?  Cuz I was considering getting rid of MS AntiSpyware.

 RE: AntiVirus
I found the  Symantec Security Check is good for people who can't afford a proper virus scanner. and yes 4 is too much, it's more likely that they will collide with each other rather than work together.

O.P.  RE: AntiVirus
Well, Which one do you think I should get rid of, I like all of them.  Symantec owns (not like pwns, but actually owns them  )norton, so I am suspecting they do the same thing basically, which one of those should I keep

 RE: AntiVirus
ClamWin. Free, and open source.   
Edit: btw, it's not a real-time scanner. You might want to have one to compliment it.

  Of course this comes with arrogance, if you think you're invincible on the internet, you're not.
