Which one of these programs can I toss?

OK I have these 3 for protection against problems: AVG, Spybot, and Ad-Aware. I always have AVG running, and I rarely, if ever, have had to use Spybot or Ad-Aware.



In all honesty, which of these can / should I get rid of? In the 7 months I've had my computer, I haven't once had any problems with malware / spyware / viruses. And I've only used Ad-Aware / Spybot once or twice to do some random cleaning, which didn't find much of anything.



Do I really need both of them? One? Neither?



Which one of these programs can I toss?antivirus protection



you need all 3 of them



they are keeping your computer protected



avg=antivirus



adaware=ad ware remover



spybot=spyware remover



Which one of these programs can I toss?computer repair



yes, you need them



as long as those 2 don't take too much system resources, you're fine
Well do you really have to remove the programs? If your computers running smoothly you should leave them or you could uninstall them and when your computer gets spyware or viruses just install them again.
If you get rid of any, I would choose spybot - adaware is much better I've had them both and trust me on that one. You should run adaware at least once a week.
keep them!!! =)
