Personally, I run multiple programs. Contray to what anyone will say
otherwise they all work together as I have been doing it for an extended
period of time and all are freeware. Spyware Blaster as it works
passively to prevent infection. Spybot S&D as it is tried and true and
kept up to date for a freeware app. Also you are course familar with AVG
free. Most promising one is malewarebytes. And still have the the
Windows Security installed package running at the same time. I update
once a week and then run once a week. Once a month I will run Escan.
This one is the latest/newest one to the arsenal but is a free online
scanner. Must be patient when running this one as it does take quite
some time. Recommend to run overnight.
As I stated they all work together with no conflicts.

Thanks for taking the time to input your thoughts. I find these comments
helpful. For the time being, I have placed Windows Security Essentials on a
guest system, and AVG on a Windows XP desktop system. This forum has
convinced me to dump the McAfee, and I now have a number of software
selections with which to experiment, thanks to you folks.

Over the last ten years, I have had serious computer failures on several
occasions -- all of which were hard drive failures. However, my first virus
attack (on a Windows 95 system) was equally as devastating, and I've vowed
never to repeat that sequence again.

Many thanks.

Gordon
