I don't have a problem with my PC but just have a general question - Is it possible to have too many anti-spyware programs on your PC? Is there a problem with having more than one program on your PC together with your Anti Virus & Firewall software? Do any of the programs conflict with each other? At the moment I have Sybot Search & Destroy, Microsoft Windows Defender, Spyware Doctor, Spyware Blaster & AdAware SE Personal on my PC (in addition I also Norton NAV & Firewall 2006). Is this too much?

Hya Newfan.

They wont interfere with youre AV and firewall, and you can also have as many anti spyware programs installed as you want. But you should only have one running realtime protection or they will indeed conflict with each other, and also cause performence problems.

But you can scan manually with as many apps as you want without problems.
