AntiVirus softwares?

Do I need to uninstall Microsoft Windows Defender %26 Avast! 4 Home before installing AOL Antivirus (aka Active Virus Shield).

Is AOL Antivirus a kinda good software which groups 3 functions into 1 program - Antivirus, AntiSpywares %26 Malwares?

Active Virus Shield will prompt you to uninstall Avast before it will install. There will be no problem in keeping Defender as it is an anti-spyware and not a anti-virus. Defender will make a nice back-up spysware scanner with AVS.

AVS is an excellent solution!

Here is where the major free anti-virus programs rate in the Augest 2006 test of virus detection at www.virus.gr . 58 anti-virus products (both free and paid) were tested and this is where the "freebies" ranked. Percentages are the % of malware detected in the test.
