second Cashy on this I use AVG , seems to work fine , also have CCcleaner and Malwarebytes installed for the occasional/monthly clean-up .
Sure one of the Techies will set you straight on how many you need , supposedly you should have only one (something about 'cross interference" ) but I've found each one when run in successive scans picks up different stuff.
Only problem I've found with AVG is that it allways seems to kick-in (update) when I'm in the middle of something and slow things down for a few minutes.
Should add ,I've never noticed any difference in perfomance or problems since I dropped the 'paid' for Norton/Systemic protection and went free .
