How many Anti Virus programs does it take

How many Anti Virus Programs do I need, to keep my computer safe. I have PC cillin. I have been fairly happy with them, I have the internet security one with three installations. My husband recently found a new anti virus which is supposed to be the best program.. Well here’s my thoughts on this just because they claim it don’t make it. I will say I think I might need more then just PC Cillin to keep my computer safe for adware. PC Cillin gets some of it but sometimes they sneak in through PC Cillin or don’t get caught.

My Laptop Computer which I use mostly, started running slow and started showing some signs of gee something is not quiet right here. Well today I decided I would Download AVG Free Adware program. I know they normally catch things that my last virus checker never got, so I knew they might catch it if there was something there. At the end of the scan I had 148 Adware to be cleaned out of my computer. Most of which where a medium risk. Okay well shouldn’t PC Cillin caught that too. Guess not. It seems to be best protect it good to have more then one virus protector that does everything and then maybe other things to help that so that nothing slips through the cracks.

I will say PC Cillin as far as I can tell has kept my computer clean from virus. I switch to them after Norton allow in a virus which was over a year old at the end of my subscription with them I had about 2 months lift or so. I called their tech support and that was a load of fun, they tried getting me to pay them 70 bucks to remotely access my computer. I and my husband both had worked together to get the virus out of my computer and the last time I had called them on a virus they made my computer totally crash to where I had to get the Operating System Software back installed. I was not happy with them at all. I had told the guy, I honestly do not think I should delete this file it a OS and yadayada… He told me it was part of the virus and I listen to him. I guess the joke was on me, I ended up paying them and paying a computer repair service to fix it. At least the computer repair place was able to help and save all my files which where not backed up.
