Advice for security programmes please
Hello

On my desktop pc (XP Pro)
I have installed

Avast Anti-Virus free version
Spybot S&D free
SpywareBlaster free
SuperAntispyWare free
ZoneAlam Firewall free

I have read on this forum that Threatfire free is also a good security programme, if I install Threatfire are there likely to be any conflicts with the other security programmes that I hve.

I would appreciate advice

Many thanks

Cinders

That list looks pretty good. I would recommend Malware Bytes Anti Malware too.

I would also add windows defender from Microsoft.
