Norton Internet Security vs. PC Tools Threatfire

I have a fully paid for Norton Internet Security 2009 running on my machine and have downloaded the free PC Tools Threatfire as just a malware back up---do the two conflict---or may I run them both with no problem?---thanks in advance

 

you should have only 1 real time AV program on your computer. if you want another scanner that isnt real time av protection, id go with malware bytes.

 

I did not buy or turn on the AV protection---just the freeware

 

I aloso have malwarebytes and superantispyware on my desktop to run monthly---free versions only---no background

 

You should be ok then if threatfire isnt something that is always running like norton.

edit: man youre stacked on the av programs... you could have gotten by with just the freeware SAS and MWB. Probably 2 of the best free AV programs out there.

 

Thanks, "King Steve"---I bought Norton Internet Security because I have used AVG, Anti-Vir, Avira---and found it is just a tich better protection than those---and has some features I like---and I got 3 subscriptions for the price of one---so I could protect my daughter in So. Cal and roomie, and myself all under one subscription---I am extremely careful where I surf---and have had only 7 pieces of malware, trojans, or viruses in the last 8 years---but they are a tich more careless and want them protected as I am the one who fixes their machines---by the way---Major Geeks is my home page and I STUDY it every day----I have grown fom someone who knew absolutely nothing about computers to one who can now help my friends fix their computers---ALL FROM THE AWESOME ADVICE AND HELP FROM THIS MAGNIFICENT WEBSITE---all in the last 8 years and because of the help from folks like you---I thank you so very much!

 

Always happy to help.

 

DomLuc---thanks---I love tinkering---seems to me I had a problem with this Threatfire thing a long time ago---I have a great memory---it's just a short one---took it out of my computer
