Doubling up on security?
I have AVG (free version) antivirus, Ad-aware and my firewall is Zone Alarm. All seems to be working well, but that was what I thought while I used Norton - until it didn't!
My ADSL provider is packaging a security kit with McAffee antivirus and firewall. It's included in the price but I haven't activated it because of worries of a clash with what I already have on board.
It has now occurred to me that I believe their "kit" won't actually be downloaded to my PC but will operate at their end. Will this avoid the possibility of a clash? If so, should I apply the "belt and braces" approach and activate it?
