Title: Dual boot and AV programs
Post by: SuperDave on May 02, 2008, 01:30:15 PM

I'm planning on adding Ubuntu as a dual boot on one of my computers. Will I need to add the usual AV & Anti-Spyware to that boot also?

Yes.

So, there won't be a problem with running two AV's at the same time? What about a firewall?

You won't be running 2 at a time...you will have 2 installations.
You can only run one OS at a time so this wouldn't apply....

What about firewalls. Do I need two?
