Relax Cozwin. I'm not having a pop at you, but running two anti virus packages side by side is a recipe for disaster. In fact most vendors explicitly tell you not to do it. And I did say all three FREE ones.
Were you getting the false positives whilst running two packages together? I run AntiVir on various junk boxes and recommend it for a free alternative to people - no-one has ever complained and I've never witnessed what you describe (and it's part of the job).

I think the one program I couldn't live without is Excel, I use it so much at work, and often at home as well, and I wouldn't want to go through the hassle of learning another spreadsheet.
Other than that, I'm not attached to any program that much that I couldn't learn to work with a replacement.
