And BTW,

Using more than 1 good AV or AS program is overkill and gives you little return. Using Firefox with NoScript gives you better protection than IE with a ton of AV/AS programs because the major root cause of infections is bad DLLs that run code as LocalSystem. Putting a ton of protection up via multiple AV/AS programs and using IE is like using a condom while putting holes in it.

You're not fixing the root cause of the issue, and you're making your system run like crap with mostly useless protection.

One good AV/AS program like AVG, Firefox, NoScript, FlashBlock, and keeping your products updated will make your system run well and well-protected.
