TSGL: Which Anti-Virus and Firewall To Use

[Michael Sweeden]

Well, I for one as a tech clean infected machines almost every week that are
running AOL's "security software", to use the term loosely. I would not
recommend relying on their software as it simply does not do its job in my
experience.

Subject: TSGL: Which Anti-Virus and Firewall To Use

AOL states that my safety status is poor for the following two  reasons:
1. Multiple anti-virus programs are installed on your  computer.
 
To take full advantage of AOL's Safety and Security Center,  provided by 
McAfee, we recommend uninstalling the following anit-virus  products:

PC-cillin Internet Security - Virus  Protection
Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security  2006
2. I get the same message when AOL wants me to uninstall  the same two 
programs firewalls that I use for anti-virus to be able to  install AOL's
firewall, 
provided by McAfee.
AOL is my default but I prefer using PC-cillin Internet  Security and Trend 
Micro PC-cillin Internet  Security rather than use AOL's McAfee that only
loads 
when I sign in to  AOL.
I need to know if I'm doing the correct thing by just ignoring  AOL's 
statement that my safety status is poor.
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Toni
