Latest Malware News

In our case, we would like to know if it’s safer to have more than one antispyware application installed on our own computer.
The general rule is that it is not recommended to use more than one anti-spyware application simultaneously, though a recently-published article in the internet magazine ComputerWorld, Lincoln Spector explained that under certain conditions it is safer and more effective to have more than one application.
According to Spector, it is important to realize that most security applications are running non-stop in the background in order to create real-time protection for your computer. In this case, it can be true that two programs running simultaneously can give rise to unwanted behavior, affect or slow down the system.
Spector recommends that it is more effective to use one “main” application but also to use several other applications where real-time protection is disabled and to use them periodically to update their databases and scan your computer, as the successful detection of malware is different in each application.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that you regularly update your database!
