Haveing too many malaware type apps configured, particularly if they are
configered to run on start up (in the background) can cause all sorts of
issues, not least they may so conflict as to not do there intended job
Personally I have a single decent AV app installed, and occassionally
manually run a couple of malaware apps manually, these apps have never found
anything, and I do from time to time visit sites I did'nt ought to.
I also run a browser, with a plugin, that blocks scripts & other nasties,
and are behind both a Firewall & NAT router
