Hi Denise,

Generally, the "all-in-one" suites that consist of several programs are not 
as effective as individual programs designed for a specific job. No single 
anti malware/spyware program is 100% effective. For this reason, plus the 
fact that these programs do not conflict with each other, you can't have too 
many. I recommend that, in addition to what you have, you add the following 
programs... all free:

SpywareBlaster 3.5.1
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

SpyBot Search & Destroy 1.4
http://spybot.safer-networking.de/en/download/index.html

Ad-aware SE Personal Edition 1.06
http://snipurl.com/96mb

Once installed, SpywareBlaster runs in the background to protect you and all 
you need to do is check for updates every few days. You will need to update 
and run scans manually with the other two on a regular basis.
