No don't ask her to do that. That will only hasten her death! Too many
eggs can be dangerous!

It doesn't really matter what others do, what matters is that *you*
protect *your* machine to a level that *you* feel is adequate. If you feel
one program is sufficient that is fine.

And if someone else thinks they need five that is fine too. Even with ten
pieces of software it won't affect your machine.

Make *your* own choice. What I have on my machine (and what others have
on their machines) doesn't affect your machine.

Do you honestly expect folks to install at least FIVE different
Anti-Spyware programs, keep them updated, monitor them and constantly
tweak each one as required?

There is no one software that cleans and immunizes you against
everything. Antivirus software - you only needed one. Firewall, you
only needed one. AntiSpyware - you will need several. I have a list
and
I recommend you use at least the first five.

First - make sure you have NOT installed "Rogue AntiSpyware". There
are
people out there who created AntiSpyware products that actually install
spyware of their own! You need to avoid these:

Also, you can always visit this site..

For more updated information.

Install the first five of these: (Install, Run, Update, Scan with..)
(If you already have one or more - uninstall them and download the
LATEST version from the page given!)
