Do I run alongside McAfee Internet Security on 2 XP machines & a vista?
I use McAfee because I get it free.
Had Spybot before but I think it was slowing things down.
Also have Roboform on IE browser.
Thanks....

Hi
Take a look at the sticky at the top of the forum: Spyware & defence etc
And some helpful free on-line scans: On line malware and virus scans
Between them they cover all the well recommended bits and pieces.

If McAfee was doing its job I wouldn't have thought you needed anything else.0

Spybot wont slow anything down so long as its 'tea timer' mode is switched off
If anythings slowing your system down its Mcafee
Use MALWAREBYTES as a secondary scanner ~
