Security in PC

I have Malwarebytes paid up till Nov.

I have to renew Superantispyware today.

I've read on this site you should not have both running together.

Is it worth having both?

Thanks

Keep Malwarebytes drop Superantispyware. Malwarebyte prem works well as well as kaspersky. Doesn't hurt to run Adwcleaner every once and a while as well.

SuperAntispyware has a very poor detection rate , ditch it and stay with Malwarebytes.

Running both, as well as being unnecessary and a waste of money (if it's the paid version), is also a waste of system resources which can have an adverse effect on the overall performance of your system (unless you've got plenty of RAM installed to compensate).

I have also seen Two AV's start to delete each other, that's a bit amusing until they delete a DLL or something from system32.

Thank you all.

I'll now save $19.95

Good! Also remember anti-virus programs are usually rooted deep into your OS and have higher privileges. That makes Anti-virus programs actually a target for some malware. So the less installed the better.
