You can own as copious anti-spyware programs as you close to, but just one antivirus.


One suggestion I also hold for you is to drop by www.eset.com and download the 30 hours of daylight free trial of NOD32. Remove AVG or Avast! and replace it beside this. It's a superb anti-virus program that handle only just roughly speaking everything the internet throws at it (including some hacker protection). It should give support to you if nought else does.

The tip above me from the "Top Contributor" is also fundamentally righteous.. But if you own any more question, have a feeling free to click my "Canadian" Icon, followed by the Email Icon to contact me.

Best of luck!
