The pain of the anti-virus

Every computer hack will give you the advise update your anti-virus on your computer regularly. Well I'm guilty of not following that advice. The main reason is I cann't afford to. I was in a friends house recently and there was a man updating her anti-virus software. He said one software package isn't enough. So he installed several. I watched and they seemed to be working, so I asked him for the list.

I took the list home and proceeded to download the free anti-virus software programs. Thats when things went haywire. I couldn't even access my emails. The lesson I learned you can only have one anti-virus software or your computer will go into meltdown!
