    I upgraded to the new version of SAS last night. I really like it. It gave me three choices. Real Time Protection, Scheduled scans, and Automatic updates Which one should I choose? If I chose Real time protection. Wouldn't that mean that it would run in real time. Causing it to clash with Avast? thanks Ray. Oops I mean CB. This isn't an E-mail.

    circusboy01; avast! usually don't clash with other antivirus' running under the same operating system (provided you aren't using XP 64). avast! does restrict antivirus' like Norton and McAfee a little though (but who's blaming them ;) ).

    Leaving RTM on seems like the best option in my ears. Provided one can live with the extra booting time - the PC will be just a little slower in performance, too. Downloading big files will take a lot longer, that's basically it.

    You wouldn't want to run two AV's though, the whole point is to not use up valuable resources (well at least as little as possible), and it would defeat the purposes of that, plus it will likely clash at some point. Two AV's is not safer, just stick to one as a general rule.

    I prefer Spybot as well, but each to their own. :)

    I don't have that issue with Linux anyway. :haha:

    I have Malwarebytes, Superantispyware, Spyware Blaster, Spybot S&D and Avast.
    I remember there was someone here at TS that said I didn't need all that protection. That it was just bogging down my system. But This configuration of protection was recommended to me.by the folks over at WorldStart. It's supposed to cover all bases
    What one misses another gets,and my system is in no way bogged down. I just thought I remembered hearing somewhere that if you ran any of these in real time it would clash with your Antivirus. CB

    I'm English (well techically I'm a mix of Australian, Canadian (did I just say that!), and Scottish but), the language barrier can be confusing sometimes, even though we speak the same language, the dialect can be different... Especially with "ou" in words, rather than the US "o", and the "s" we use instead of "z".

    You'd be surprised how often it confuses people. :haha:

    I think your English is probably easier to understand than the English they Speak, here in the deep south.:haha: CB

    By the way. What does Sod mean. Is it just a slang word?

    Aye, it is, similar in use to the term used to describe a female dog. Or pee off, or the other ruder, f off word. Its meant in a fun way rather than an insulting way though.

    So it's a catch all word for a multitude of cuss words. Said in a joking manner.
    Wish we had a word like that, I'd be using it all the time. you don't mind if I borrow yours do you?:haha:
