[QUOTE="Andre, post: 1985281, member: 25930"] All I can say is I was doing that immediately after installing the programs I listed above, and I had to turn them off. Within 12 hours of installing, I had the following problems: 1. One fatal error that forced my system to shut down. 2. Three lockups when opening files in MS Word. Had to use Task Manager to shut down Word and try again. 3. Significant slow-downs in opening any application, including MS Word, MS Excel, and IE. Once I shut down the real-time antispyware (about 4 hours ago), I haven't had repeats of these problems. Given how valuable the real-time option is, I'll probably experiment with running just one by itself for a day or two, then the next one, and so on. I'll keep the one that causes the least disruption to my system. Right now, I'm kind of tired of the whole thing, so I'm not going to worry about it for a few days. BTW - Running all these scans found over 40 files that Ad-Aware/Spybot didn't. After removing those files, I noticed that webpages are loading noticeably faster. Since I'm on dial-up, that's a pleasant surprise. [/QUOTE]
