You should take note that McAfee doesn't play well with other security applications.
Refer here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic156445.html If it works for you and you already paid for it, then by all means keep it. But I would start looking for a replacement just in case you encounter problems in the future. Be sure you have a firewall enabled and well configured. There is a wealth of information here in the pinned topics about how to secure yourself. -------------------- I amar prestar aen. Han mathon ne nen. Han mathon ne chae.

QUOTE Thanks for the help. I pay for McAfee though xD. Since you pay for McAfee I suggust not to uninstall it, since mcafee has trouble with Spybot I suggust you remove spybot S&D and replace it with spywareterminator. spywareterminato also has realtime protection which you can enable. You can download that from Here. I also suggust you uninstall ad-aware with superantispyware unless you're paying ad-aware too... Other than that I think you're fine. Also I hope you have a 3rd party firewall installed... Spywareblaster,Mcafee,spywareterminator,superanti-spyware and a 3rd party firewall is good to go  Hope that helps and good luck

Perfectly fine as long as they are on demand and not real time.
