Do I need Defender Pro (antispyware) AND MacAfee?

Question

We got a free version of McAfee through our internet provider, and I don't think we need a bunch of different programs. Any ideas?

Answer 1

neither! get GOOD stuff, I beg of thee

Answer 2

You need a single anti-virus program which I see you have and an anti-spyware program. McAfee is a great anti-virus program and if you have the Security Center then it should also provide a firewall and some other protection. For anti-spyware I suggest either Spyware Doctor or Spybot S&D(free). Also use a program called ThreatFire as its an extension of any existing protection and doesn't interfere with your current protection but instead adds to it.

Answer 3

no use this http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix... thats it!

Answer 4

You don't need more than one ant-virus program.  I recommend AVG Free v 8.  You can get it at www.grisoft.com

I also recommend just using the built-in Windows Firewall.

In my opinion anti-virus applications from Symantec and MCafee or to big and take up to many system resources.  I try to stay away from these.

Hope this helps.
