I think the short answer to the question is NO. Sadly, I know people that actually run multiple AV scanners though I feel that really the effectiveness is dubious. The debate in many circles continues to rage about NOD32 vs: Kaspersky. They are really neck and neck, each one offering some advantages that other doesn't have. NOD32 seems lower on resources while Kaspersky is thought to have better heuristics. Kaspersky has a larger virus database and generally is thought to have better Trojan detection rates than NOD32 though I don't know that this is true 100% of the time.. So I agree.. Also Kaspersky updates their AV bases every 3 hours which I think is excellent.. Personally for me, Kaspersky+Spyware Blaster+HiJackThis!+ good Hosts file and I have not had an infestation virus or spyware in over 5 years.. Bill
