Are two antivirus programs better than one?

Laptop Battery Dear Computer Lady,

6. Perform a local virus scan using an emergency rescue disk. Many antivirus programs allow you to create an emergency rescue disk to use in the event your computer becomes infected. When you boot from your rescue disk, the antivirus program will scan your computer for viruses before your operating system loads. Performing this process will give your antivirus program access to files that may have been locked by the operating system. Refer to your antivirus help files for assistance with creating an emergency disk or contact the antivirus vendor.

Thinkpad Since I already have Norton Anti-virus working on my Windows 98 Dell computer, would it be wise for me to install AVG version 7 also or would that conflict with Norton?

2. Scan your computer using an antivirus program. If you have an antivirus program installed in your computer (Norton®, McAfee®, AVG®, Speed Security Suite®, etc.), download the latest virus definition first before running the scan on your pc. If your antivirus is expired, you will not be able to download the latest virus definition and it is recommended that you do not scan your pc with an expired antivirus program. Contact the antivirus vendor for additional information.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Laptop Computer Dear Sue,

John in Greenville, Ohio, asks if there is a good program to test how well one's computer is working.

Desktop Computer It is not a good idea to run two antivirus programs at the same time. The two programs will sometimes work against each other. This can result in your computer crashing or locking up, and in the conflict viruses can sometimes slip through.

Notebooks If your Norton updates are paid for, and you are keeping it updated, then you just need to choose which program to use.

Lenovo If your Norton is outdated and you are not getting daily updates, then you need to either buy a new subscription to Norton, or uninstall Norton and get another program.

Hard Drive To un-install your current antivirus program, click on "Start" and then click on "Control Panel".

Travelstar In the control panel window, double click on "Add/Remove Programs" and then find the listing for your antivirus. Click once on the antivirus, then click the "Remove" button.

Gateway Re-boot your computer before you install another antivirus.

Laptop Parts If you choose to install AVG Antivirus, head on over to http://tinyurl.com/87zj4 and download then install the program. There is a free version of AVG that does not include tech support, and a paid version that costs only $38.95 for two years.
