Security in PC

[securityman]

I have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium and Superantispyware installed. Is that over kill having both?

Do you have both of them in active mode? if so, yes, it is overkill plus the system also has defender.
I have malwarebytes and superantispyware installed but not active monitoring mode, I use them to scan the system monthly.

As a general rule you should only be running 1 active anti-virus at a time. Keep any others turned off until needed for a suspected infection.
Why?
2 or more virus scanners will fight and eat up all of your system resources.
I've seen top tier computers brought to their knees until 1 of active virus scanners was removed.

I recommend you stick with the Malwarebytes and get rid of the other one.

Personally I use Malwarebytes for suspected infections and windows defender for minimal security.

Thank you both for your quick response.

Malwarebytes is paid up till Nov. for 3 systems. Super is due today. Should I buy or just work with MB?

If I have both I'll take your advice and shut one down.

Sorry to drag this out.
