fortunately, I have not had to do a clean install of windows -- guess all my
programs like avg, spybot, adaware, etc are doing the job lol
I have a lappy and DT and yes I have to install on each. Updates are auto and
so are scans.
Yes, I do have to use Adaware, spybot, spwareblaster scan and updates manually
but that is not abig deal as I do them while reading the paper etc. No
conflicts with any or each or them. Using XP, system resources is not an issue
as long as enough RAM.
While I don't like to have to do what you speak of in #3, I still like freeware.
Not everyone is using multiple computers and many are not aware that there are
valuable programs available as freeware. Outside of computer forums, newsgroups
and chat rooms related to computing, knowledge of freeware is not freely
disseminated.

Yes. But if you have never had to do a clean install of Windows you would
not appreciate the reasons.
1. Research to find if AVG has any conflicts with S&D Spybot or if S&D has
conflicts with AdAware or if this has conflicts with that or if specific
combinations may have conflicts with anything.
2. Does this feature of a product duplicate a feature in that product? How
much duplication gets installed and then disabled? How much of your system
resources does that duplication waste?
3. Would you like to install 6 different programs, run updates on all six
and deal with the hassles of configuring six different programs plus
schedule them all for updates? Or, would you rather just do *ONE*
installation, *ONE configuration, *ONE* update and *ONE* configuration?
4. Do you want to deal with all of that on every computer you maintain? I
have five computers I maintain and I can tell you that at less than 50 bucks
TrendMicro is a Godsend. Even at a hundred bucks it would be worth it.
