Anti-virus Problems

Quantum_Moose

<div class="IPBDescription">This Is a Pretty Wierd One...</div> I've gotten many anti spyware and anti virus programs on my computer just for an extra sense of security.

Anyway I start up PestPatrol 5, run that and it finds 2 little bugs as usual, there not major but a problem anyway... After that I run Spy Emergency, that starts scanning, and as it's scanning, my Norton randomly finds 2 major viruses which it automatically deletes. The first was simply called "Hacktool" and the second being "dap".

Does this have to do anything with me scanning with another program?

It could, programs sometimes contain the viruses within there own folders, and sometimes other anti spyware/virus stuff picks up on whats in the other programs folders (even though its not harmfull since its contained, and was prob already deleted)

or if you download certain hacking utilities, antivirus software automatically deletes it

Ugh, Norton. Drop any antivirus you already have and go pick up NOD32 or Kaspersky. You only need one, and Norton is a terrible one to pick.
