Does the same apply to AV's also???


No. The rule is ONE anti-virus program installed, ONE firewall operational, MANY anti-spyware tools available.

.... Scarlett covered it. (I swear it wasn't there 20mins ago!)

One thing about the anti virus. If you are running Norton that is several months or years old and do not have a subscription, you may not be protected. You need a subscription to Norton to stay up to date. If you don't then uninstall Norton and install AVG or Avast. You should never allow you anti-virus to be go more than a few days without updating the definition.

I had a bad experience with MacAfee when I had it on a '98 box. I switched to AVG with 14 months left on my subscription. Never missed it.
