Cool Solved: Anti-virus protection
I have both Adware Professional and Malwarebytes installed. When I run the latter program, it identifies all the Adware components as rogue and suggests they be deleted. Is Malwarebytes just tryng to get rid of the competition or is there a real problem? I also have AVG Anti-Virus Free installed. Am I over-protected?

Keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.41 and add SUPERAntiSpyware 4.29.0.1002 to your anti-malware/anti-spyware arsenal. They're both very user-friendly, do a very good job, and work well together.

Get rid of Lavasoft Ad-Aware.

AVG Free 8.5 is fine for your anti-virus program. By the way, AVG Free 9.0 will be released soon.

It's Adware Professional, not AdAware.
