Everything Else / Virus protection

« on: June 11, 2013, 10:17:09 am »

Hello folks,  just a simple question albeit a controversial one.  I've seen it mentioned by several techies that having more than one or several virus protection programs running at the same time is not a very good idea due possibly to conflicts between them.  Based on that 'theory' I removed several programs I had which were Malwarebytes, superantispyware and Microsoft security essentials.  I, at one time had Avast and AVG but was told also that these were 'bloat' programs and did interfere with productivity.  Now I am at a dilemma, I obviously do not have a virus protection program running at this time except for a firewall.  Can anyone advise me of an "effective" virus protection program that I should use which will protect me and not affect the productivity of my computer?
I would appreciate any and all input/help anyone can provide and...at your earliest convenience...(I may be vulnerable right now).

Thanks,
'yep'
