Why so many anti-spyware and anti malware?  ;D

Honestly, from my personal experience it is not the amount of software you install,( its good to have some protection,) but  it is the users who are behind the computer.

I don't know why you have so many antispyware, most antispyware companies have similar if not the same malware defintions installed into their database, their might be one or 2 that differ by just a little. If you get a coorperate, or buisness antimalware you have more protection because it has more malware data then for personal uses.

So... what about your firewall?  :D You can't have a virus scanner without a firewall.

Also do any of those even have real time protection.. no point in having multi cleaners if not one of them is real time protection.


My security are: Comodo Security Suite, Webroot Spysweeper, Emisoft(A2 free) Thats all I need,
