As far as I know antiviruses conflict with one another in general so you should have only one installed.
Anti-malware programs are different and you can have them alongside an antivirus program. But let the guys correct me if I'm wrong. :)

Hey Bro Reborn!

I did!

You also just made it dawn on me that when people say DH (now) that its not always meaning, "Darling Husband" but my screen name (DesiredHaven)... how many people have I ignored when adressed like that?

Sheesh, I just realized I missed that! LOL

I dont like this name and and sometimes I can be forgetful

Yes, can I post this again? See its March 3d on this thread now??
Sorry--I was referring to the OTHER "DH" who started this thread........:p

I'm glad you received the knowledge and information you were seeking.

BTW....doesn't DH= Department of Homeland?

SK, since you are giving advice out?
When my computer is lagging....would you suggest bashing it with a hammer or throwing it up against the wall?
Just wondering?
"Giving" advice out?! No, no. I have your payment information on file, so by all means, ask away. :D (Aren't you a Mac user, too? That will cost you extra.)

It's fine to have a program that doesn't offer real time protection (like the free version of MalwareBytes) installed with another AV program installed, but don't have two of them offering real-time protection/monitoring running simultaneously. They will "conflict" in more than one way.

Ccleaner is not an anti virus program in any way, so you're good there no matter which AV program you are using for protection. :cool:

Hey thanks I know it has more then one trojan on it, Im standing at my desktop now (Im not on it) because I cant swat all the pop ups away while posting on the thing, it then begins to have a mind of its own or something LOL

I only browse on that puter because I never kept anything for virus or security on it, I wont even check my mail on that computer, but I did come here though lol

Is it easy to clean off your own drive?

I wouldnt mind, having a spare laptop if it was inexpensive to do
Depending on your computer and operating system its usually pretty easy to set your computer to original factory settings with a few exceptions such as

-is your operating system still supported What does it mean if Windows isn't supported? - Windows Help
- do you have a recovery disk.


If you are still interested in using your old laptop by knowing the brand and model and the operating system and I can link you to how to reset to factory settings or if your lucky going back to a restore point.
