hang on think i’ve just had a deja-vu moment

the spam software is not so much of a problem as its only scans email

but as for antivirus if they are all running permanently then yes it will slow down your pc and probably clash with one another.

The best method i’ve come across is to use one antivirus and one antimalware that run all the time and then another antivirus and antimalware that only runs when you actually run a manual scan with them.

so if you use AVG for antivirus and antispyware and then run malwarebytes and something like panda active scan for the on demand stuff
