I read somewhere that I am supposed to select "run as administrator" every time I install or uninstall a program. I have UAC turned off, so do I still need to do this? Also, I installed Avast, but noticed after that there was some random files leftover from AVG and possibly Norton which originally came on the machine. I used both of their removal tools, should I reinstall Avast in case their were conflicts? Or should I not worry about it?
One more question. For protection I am using Online Armor (firewall), Avast 4 Home for Anti Virus. For spyware I have spywareguard and spyware blaster. Are these sufficient to combat any spyware, malware, viruses or should I have something else. If I added something like Malwarebytes with real time protection would it conflict with any of the above listed programs? I just want to get confirmation that I am finally protected so I can be done with this. haha. Thank you in advance.
