if you have more then one anti-virus running you get a fool error you have a virus same with any other type of software like Anti-adware, anti-virus so on.....

if you have all instill only make one of the type be on all the time and the rest on on call when you like them to scan for things.

sample:

Avast be running all the time
Pc tools Anti Virus when you like to do a double check on files.

same with other types

never a good Id (same type software) having more then one running in the back ground.

spysweeper and Spybot S&D don't work together they may block the other for removing Spyware items. best exit out of spysweeper when using Spybot S&D so it do it job then open up spysweeper. don't have both running at same tme.

this goes for any anti-virus programs as will.

CCleaner:
hate it do to it deleted (remove) .tmp files as will .BK type it can make one have error when upgrading software. programs use tmp to keep data information in if these files are remove then you get a error can't be instill do to files not found. at lease if you use it you know why know.

tmp files are not the same as internet files it will scan the whole hard drive and remove all tmp files in it totally. even programs tmp files. if you have a really small hard drive and like to have more space buy a bigger one like 120GB-250GB most are really cheap now days.

i would stay the hell away from CCleaner it can give more trouble. buy a system tool software.

i use Fix-5 right now they have Fix-it 7 coming out soon. it do you a lot better.
