    Computer Security
    I just installed Windows 7 (had Vista) and MS Office 2010 on my laptop. I also have installed on my laptop the following security programs. Spybot, RegistryBooster and MS Security Essentials. Can someone tell me if I have TOO many security programs installed that could effect other programs or installations. Thanks, Wayne

    In my opinion all you need installed is MS Security Essentials, more than that will create problems besides its free! Those others are spy crap. In setting don't join SpyNet.

    Dump spybot and registrybooster as they are no longer relevant.
    While MS is good, Malwarebytes ran occasionally helps to keep your system clean of infection.
