    Hi

    Why do you need two AV programs?

    Hi

    A bit harsh but I'm surprised that someone who supposedly knows about computers would recommend installing two AV programs.

    Three or four AV programs running at the some time.:rotfl::rotfl::eek::eek:

    Maybe that is a matter of opinion!! My friend is not stupid!! Please don't get on your high horse and start to offend cos you think that you are right!! Have a nice day!!

    However it has been worded, it is poor advice that demonstrates a lack of understanding of a fairly fundamental subject. How you react to the criticism is your prerogative, but your friend’s advice is incorrect and the advice you've received here is correct.

    As above, multiple AV software equals problems and that's bad advice, especially if he works in the industry.

    Ah well, if Microsoft says it's a bad idea, I'l put a couple more on my laptop straight away...;)

    I would be interested to know which part of the computer industry elle45's friend works in if he/she recommended that?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
