From: Juarez on 4 Apr 2010 10:50 Avira recently put out a new version and when installing it it tells me I should disable Defender because Avira does what Defender does too and it may cause conflicts. I disabled Defender but I am using free Avira so am thinking maybe free Avira doesn't overlap with Defender and I should have both enabled. What do you think?

Defender has never found squat anyway so don't think I need it if I have Avira and Malwarebytes.

Well if you have Malwarebytes' anti malware, yes, it is redundant. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
