Layering For A Overwhelmed Dinosaur
Ok, bear with me on a probably overworked topic. I'm just a dinosaur with 3-4 computers around the house. I JUST upgraded to Windows 7, one computer is primary and shares it's files to the others (and gets backed up daily). Recently I posted about running multiple antivirus programs, and the consensus here was not to do it. So I turned to the almighty internet, and it supports not doing it. No problem there, but folks talk about layering protection, and that brings me to this post, sorry for being long-winded.
For a home network of several computers, how would it be to run a layering such as:
MS Security Essentials, antivirus program like Avast, AVG, etc., Antimalware like Malwarebytes, and antispyware like Spybot.
Is Avast redundant because of SE?
Then there are some other programs that seem more specialized in their targeting like Malewarebytes AntiExploit, and Rootkit programs. Would it be worth it to also run some of these, or would that be too over-the-top for a home system of several computers?
Thanks!
