I solely use free anti-virus and stand alone firewalls. My problem is that i continually change these programs (once every two months or so) , to ensure proper protection. Every time i install a new anti-virus , during the install process it tells me i need to un-install Bit Defender. The Bit Defender i used is 3 years old , and was un-installed 2 years ago. I have searched "My Computer" for any remaining BD files using multiple keywords and such , but to no avail. Because it "strongly Recommends" removing BD before continuing the install , could there be a hidden or behind the scenes software conflict with my new anti-virus and Bit Defender? , and could it affect my protection level ? Your help is greatly appreciated. R.
