The stealth mode, usually a bit hard to track by common antivirus program. It could gather all information that you have in your computer without you being noticed of it, and then transmitted the information to its owner. That’s why you need a special anti spyware to take care of this problem. Spyware is not only harmful in stealing your information, but it’s also known to bugging the big companies when it’s get the important companies data.

Another disadvantage by having this spyware in your computer is that it can slow down your computer. That happens because they crawl your files and used up more spaces in your CPU. It could also run by itself every time you turn on your computer and it won’t stop working until you turn it off.

As you probably know, the danger of spyware is that it can steal all important information that you have in your computer. Starting from your personal information, your username and password for several accounts, even your credit card numbers and emails.

The very first thing you can do to avoid any spyware attack is by installing an anti spyware into your computer. Turn it on, and update it regularly. After that, you need to be careful in downloading suspicious files. Even if you already download it, make sure you scan it with your anti spyware and antivirus to make sure it’s saves before you open it. Last but not least, be careful when you clicking the popups. As you know, clicking something could trigger the spyware to be installed in your computer.

There are so many anti spyware program that you could find on the Internet. Some of them are freeware and others are shareware. Freeware means you don’t have to pay anything to use it, while shareware often gives you the trial version to try before you buy. If you don’t know where to start finding the anti spyware, just go to Google, and type “free antispyware program”. This will pulls out tons of results that you could choose.

What are needed to consider?

If you want to install 2 antiviruses in one or more computers, you may need to consider several things such as:

* Specifications of computers, make sure the CPU and Memory (RAM) enough. You can see the need or the recommended minimum of each antiviral.
* User can handle if both of them detect the virus.
* Match between the antivirus and the other one. If antivirus is not able to give a warning or do not fit with certain antivirus, it should not be forced.
* How will the give a higher priority.
* And probably also need to read the information / explanation of each antiviral.

What if both of antiviruses detect the same virus

When two or more antivirus are installed in the computer, it can and it is very possible that both antivirus detect the same virus. And sometimes this can cause problems, because if the virus detected is usually anti-virus will lock (file), so can not be accessed, run or even in the clear in the manual.

May occur when one antivirus will delete or quarantine the virus, it does not succeed / fail because the virus is in the lock (locked) access by other antivirus. If this happens, it can be one of the antiviruses must be switch off, and then the other delete to enter the virus to quarantine. Although it can not succeed, the other antivirus still can lock the file.

Do you still want to install two antiviruses?

If you still want to install two antivirus or more, but you worry computer will crash, error, conflict, or computer work will so slowly, this can be solved with activate only one antivirus. Mean?

Each menu usually have antivirus that work on the computer monitor at any time, such as: Active guard, Real-time guard, Proactive defense, Resident shield, Resident Protection, and so forth. To prevent conflicts and reduce the burden on the computer can be done with only the features for only one antivirus. While other anti-virus turned off (not activated), so only used to perform scan manually if needed only.

Or can also turn off the auto run feature or prevent automatic antivirus running windows, can be arranged through a program like Autoruns. There will be seen what the antivirus running when windows start (booting). But with the autorun just sometimes not enough, because the antivirus itself can activate the service through the windows (I checked the menu in the Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Services)

Experience is also important

This may also be made in consideration of the experience of others who had to install 2 antivirus in one or more computers. If you have friends who use two or more antivirus please provide feedback / comments. Whether there have been a problem or not, that can complement each other and become a science for us.
