    Well here we go.....

    My ever-lovin'-man bought me a Toshiba laptop last week and it came with full Norton.
    My desktop is running Avast (paid for) and has been doing pretty dang good, but I still have to run my SuperAntiSpyware and SpyBot every so often.
    What I do want to know is.....
    Can I run Norton and Avast on my Desktop at the same time?
    When I went ahead and paid the $89+ for the Norton for my laptop I got the 'booster' that said that I have 30 days to be able to put it with 2 more computers. Well.....time is a tickin'...............
    What can I do and what is the best I should do.
    I gave up $39+ for the avast and you already know for the Norton...
    Please...................help, help,help....~~~big smile~~~

    No, you need to pick one or the other. Two alpha dogs in one pack is a recipe for disaster... ;)

    Chaslang, resident malware-fighting super-hero, has written a guide for computer safety that mentions it as well. Never have more than one AV installed on a computer!
