antivirus and tools programs

[RENEDDI]

hello, have 3 questions,
1. i recently installed norton antivirus 2010, how would you rate this as a power hog?, supposively its supposed to have great improvement over earlier versions and smaller memory requirements and usage, if so should i keep it or go back to avast? guess it was a multiple question lol

2, i am currently using windows doctor and tune up utilities 2009, to clean up my pc how would you rate them? are they worth keeping? are they any good at all?

3. i ran across this software program called System Mechanic Pro 8.5.5.7 , is this program pretty good to install in conjunction with my other programs, or is it good enough to just have just this one installed besides the windows doctor and tune up utilities 2009, and will this program conflict with my norton antivirus?

thank you in advance.

1. Go back to Avast.
2. I have never heard of those 2, so I am not sure.
3. I have never heard of that one either.

It seems like you're buying alot of your software. If that is the case, you can get alot of great software that is free on the internet, and in some to most cases it's better. Avast is an example.

I personally prefer Norton over Avast because Norton picked up many errors that Avast didn't. Tune Up is also fairly good so keep it. Haven't heard of the other two, but I think that Norton and Tune Up would be enough. My computer is loaded with Norton 360, Tune Up 2009 and iobit 360IObit Security 360 | Free Anti-malware | Free Download (which I recommend alongside the two other programs). Afterwards, you won't have any problems.
