[Ham-Computers] Anti Virus - the age-old debate

[Gary Pewitt]

I use AVG which I update daily, Spybot Search and Distroy which is 
updated every Wed., and Malwarebytes which get updated about every 10 
days or so.  They work very well together with no problems at all.  I 
haven't had any infections in a -long- time.
I run Spybot -after- AVG has run.  Then every so often I run 
Malwarebytes just to make triple sure.
