JawD 99 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 With Win 7 and the like having Defender (which I think is Firewall and Anti-Malware), do you think that is enough or is something like AVG worth having as an Anti-Virus as well? I believe it's best not to run two so if you have AVG should you disable Defender or visa versa or can the two run side by side fine?

Tom 14021 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 As in 'Windows Defender'? I use that as well as it's seems to be automatic, AVG is pretty good. Seems to spot viruses quite fast. I got rid of malwarebytes because it kept blocking things I didn't actually want it to - like wiziwig.eu for football streaming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Aye, at the moment Im using Windows Defender + AVG and I occassionally run Spybot. They both sometimes hog system resources though and Id like something that wasnt so greedy. Defender as I understand is meant to throttle back if something else needs RAM etc but it doesnt seem to.

Cheers all the tech help sites say you shouldn't run 2 anti virus checkers. I run Avast [anti virus], Malwarebytes [anti malware] and that is all, apart from the Windows progs prob including Defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
