Do not run multiple anti-virus programs
You should not run more than one anti-virus program on a computer. Running multiple anti-virus programs on a computer can create many problems and conflicts. If you are currently running another anti-virus program such as Norton or PC-Cillin and would like to use one of the options above, you will need to uninstall your current anti-virus software first.
NOTE: Be aware that when downloading programs from the Internet, you will often need to carefully read what you are downloading. Some Internet software will come bundled with other anti-virus software contrary to what you are already using which could cause you difficulties. Be sure to uncheck those options.
You would also be well-served to download something like Malwarebytes to keep spyware off your computer as well.
