Hello there... :)

I was hoping one of you clever people could tell me if i have too much security or too many programs that may conflict with each other..

I've installed:

Kaspersky Internet Security 2009
Webroot Desktop Firewall
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
Super AntiSpyware (free edition) and
Comodo BoClean

Is this too much? Will these systems fight each other and open the door for the bad guys to eat my laptop?

thanks very much

kind regards

mike

You have two firewalls: this is not recommended.

Besides that, looks pretty good.

hmmm... tricky question.

I'm gonna say take away webroot, because you don't need an extra program to do what another program can do.

Of course, if you wish to depend on the firewall protection rate, look here: http://www.matousec.com/projects/firewall-challenge/results.php

Best Regards :D
