Question
Hello,

I currently have NIS 2010 installed.  I know you are not supposed to run two anti-virus programs together.  However, I would like to run an additional malware program that is free and has real-time protection.  Please advise as to which product I should install to augment Norton.

Thank you,

John

Answer
Hi John

Try ThreatFire Free Antivirus which can be used in addition to existing AV software.  It has real-time protection, and does not use a great deal of system resources.  Read more and download from here:
