spywareguard 2009 removal

[jumpinjivinjoe]

OK I have Avast, Winpatrol, Spywareblaster, MalwareBytes, ThreatFire, PC Tools Firewall Plus, Windows Defender, and Spybot SD. Do I have too many secuirity programs? Is there overlap and is that bad?

[Shaba]

I recommend that you use only one of these:

- Winpatrol
- ThreatFire
- Windows Defender

My personal choice would be either Winpatrol or ThreatFire.

[jumpinjivinjoe]

What is the difference between the two you recommend?

[jumpinjivinjoe]

...and should I uninstall the other two programs?

[Shaba]

ThreatFire is more aggressive than WinPatrol. Here is some info about it and here about WinPatrol.

Yes, I recommend that you uninstall other two programs or at least disable them.

[jumpinjivinjoe]

I uninstalled windows defender, and I prevented winpatrol from starting up at startup.
