I have two machines, one running Vista Bus, the other running Win XP
Home, on which I have installed three programs--AntiVir. AdAware and
Malwarebytes--no problems and no infections.
My son's machine had to be wiped and had to have Win Xp re-installed as
a result of 96 different infections which corrupted the Windows OS.
After cleaning up I installed AntiVir, AdAware and Malwarebytes and this
caused all sorts of hanging and instability and eventually I had to
remove all three programs to get the machine to run normally.
I am sure that it was not the AntiVir program that was the problem as
after removing it there was no improvement in the situation.
But perhaps someone could explain why my son's machine should have a
different response to the installation of the three programs ?
I will be re-installing AntiVir ---
