Depends what you've got (or might have).

In addition to the two you mentioned, I've also picked up along the way:
Ad-Watch
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
HijackThis

Ive noticed they dont like each other though. Installing one will delete the other.

Got both running on XP with no problem?

I don't use any of them.

I used to but after having Norton screw up my computer the professional dude who fixed it said to get rid of everything and just use the windows firewall and AVG free.

So that i do and so far i don't believe i've had any problems.

The free version of Ad-aware is the nuts.

I run it weekly as well as the also-free Zone Alarm firewall (obviously disable the disgusting Windows firewall).

Never had any virus problems and malware is kept at bay too.

Just don't download porn and music from Limewire

I wish. But it is a beautiful machine. And it has:

No spyware
No adware
No virus
No [Poor language removed] toolbars installed in your browsers, against your will

But it doesnt look as sexual as Vista. And thats what counts really.

Your jesting right? Vista? That shockingly [Poor language removed] operating system that has more bugs than a "weird man who collects his own waste" 's house?

It was rushed out to try and compete with Leopard, which it was never going to do, Microsoft admitted it was bad, and as for looks? I agree it looked better than XP, but it's still nowhere near as designed as Leopard is. Apple are the design kings.

New to Mac - Apple Store (U.K.)

It does look better though, Im sure Apple has all cool things but it just looks better.

And its a pain in the arse finding out if that software you want is Apple compatible.


Apple = the betamax of the PC world.
