Hello i was wondering if this is to much protection and if having all of these could give less protection
I have

eusing free registry cleaner
malwarebytes antimalwar
ccleaner
superantispyware free edidtion
avira antivirus
hijack this
spybot
smart defrag 1.20
tweak cleaner

I heard that having two anti virus protections probably wouldn't hurt
if you only have ONE for live protection and use the others for just scanning

is having two or more registry cleaners are malware removers good for a computer are it bad for a computer i ran a registry cleaner and i found that i had to pay for it to fix most of the registrys it would only fix 15 it seemed to be the best registry program by the reviews i read online that it found more registry errors than the others so i thought i would try a couple others to get rid of most of the errors and i would use the other one to fix what was ever left over but it wasn't under 15 erros like i thought it would be  i think it was at are near what it said before like 300
but the other two got rid of like 350 why didn't the other registry detect
these.If I were you I'd get rid of the registry cleaners and spybot and I would ADD Spyware Blaster (for passive protection).

In other words, keep Avira, MalwareBytes, ccleaner (optional) & add spyware blaster. Don't care about your defragger.i agree with alan in a few things , keep

avira                     
ccleaner             use once a week
malwarebytes      ..    ..     ..     ..
superanti...          ..    ..     ..     ..

and i would keep smart defrag and use once a month or so
Hello James. The only full time protections you now have are Avira Anti-virus and Spybot S&D. All the others are just for scanning UNLESS you have the paid for versions. It won't hurt if you use another AV for scanning only. Just make you are not running both. You would be wise to install SpywareBlaster.Sorry if you guys frown on this tagging on, but l was interested in James's post and the replies, especially from Allen, and then Harry.
My list is not so large, ie -

Avast
SAS (paid)
MBAM
CCleaner
Auslogics Defrag
 
Downloaded SpywareBlaster just to see what it's all about, and it seems pretty good, and l QUITE like it. However, the question is -
I used to use Spybot, who's database is updated every Wednesday.
Have now downloaded Spyware Blaster, and the last available database update seems to be 23rd Sept.
So, why is SWB supposedly better than SPYBOT if its' database isn't as up to date as that of Spybot?
Thanks

for the "sheer *censored* of it" and found it a lot betternot all protection is updated every week i check them all and MAY only get 2 that need itthe database doesn't need to be as recently updated if  the program uses more accurate heuristics.Spyware Blaster is passive protection (it makes entries in the reigstry) - Spybot is active (RESIDENT or for scanning). And anyway, Spybot is now considered passe - the current best of breed are MalwareBytes & Super Antispyware.
