Comodo is free. Avast is free. Adaware is free. Only SpySweepr and Eblaster did I pay for (Ghost too but that was back in 2001). No conflicts at all except that you have to ensure that windows firewall is turned off if you install a separate firewall.


>I looked online for all of the programs you have installed on your daughter's PC and they all seem to be commercial programs (not free). Did you buy them online or in the store? And do you find that they may be conflicting each other?

>>On her machine I use Comodo firewall, SpySweeper, Avast, Adaware, and Eblaster. I use Ghost to create the image (I make a monthly image of hers and a weekly one of mine).

>>>I did install AVAST AV on her PC last time I reformatted but no fire wall. I am thinking about buying a Ghost of some other image program to to store the hard drive image, in case I have to rebuild it again. This is a good idea. But in a few months she will be going to college and wants me to buy her a Mac.

Now I have to reformat her drive and reinstall everything from 0. It happened already 2 times; seems like ever 6 months she gets some kind of virus. She says she probably caught it from limewire.
