Hi,
have a wee Samsung R710, Vista Home Premium.
Have:
Ad-Aware, scheduled scan day 1,
Avast, live,
ccleaner, manual,
Comodo firewall, live,
Malware, manual,
Sptbot SD, scheduled scan day 2,
Spywareblaster, live,
SuperAnti Spyware, scheduled scan day 3,
Windows Defender, live.
Now, if I was to use Microsoft Security Essentials, what do I dump?
Thanks, for now.

Too much scheduled scanning for my liking.
Ad-Aware, scheduled scan day 1, Dump. Useless.
Avast, live, Dump
ccleaner, manual,
Comodo firewall, live,
Malware, manual,
Sptbot SD, scheduled scan day 2, Use manually
Spywareblaster, live, Dump
SuperAnti Spyware, scheduled scan day 3, Use manually
Windows Defender, live. Included in MSE, no action required.0 -
leave avast, ccleaner (set to run and close at boot, it has little to do with security apart from cleaning your cache), add malwarebytes, turn on windows firewall dump the rest, and forget about mse.
All that security will grind your pc to a halt, all scanning for the same thing and hogging cpu and ram.!!
