This is plain wrong: Having more than one anti-malware software on a single computer will lead to unpredictable problems, such as false positives, false negatives and other system errors.

You should pick one of the few mainstream anti-malware solutions and stick to it. All of them are good enough for most users, some are more user friendly than others.

Most of today’s malware take advantage of users not being responsible about their browsing/e-mailing habits.
