    Running Duplicate Programs
    « on: November 10, 2010, 03:29:23 AM »
    Should I disable Windows Essentials AntiVirus and Firewall if I run a 3rd party software? I have Windows XP. I added SuperAntiVirius, Online Armour and Malwarebytes awhle back after I got attacked with malware. This forum got me squared away on what to do. Recently I had some issues with OLA so I uninstalled it. I just checked my Windows Security Center and it has firewall and antivirus enabled.

    Should I disable the antivirus since I have SuperAntivirus? Could the problem I had with OLA be a result of the Window's firewall being enabled? Thanks.

    Where did you get SuperAntiVirius?  Why did you install it when you already had Windows Essentials AntiVirus?

      I followed the advice I got here and used a link from here to get SuperAntivirus. I'll have to go back and review the thread to remember the deatils.
