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 ![:P](images/smilies/msn_tongue.gif) )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.
