Hello,
I've always used Avast as my main protection software and will continue to do so, I noticed though Baidu had a few extra features that I quite liked, therefore I installed it alongside after a few reviews said it could indeed be installed alongside other security software and was among the best for the cross compatibility

I know there are issues concerning performance etc. but I have just three main points
1) Is Baidu antivirus (2014) actually any good in anyone's opinion?
2) Is it worth having this second antivirus program alongside my previous protection?
3) As I have installed Baidu for anti-spyware and generally internet protection rather than virus checking etc. should I install a dedicated anti-spyware system instead?

Thanks,

Baidu Antivirus & Avast Antivirus should not be installed on the same PC as together they can cause OS instability.
Choose one or the other.

Thanks, I re-thought after I posted this, I won't install Baidu at all, just gonna stick with Avast & Malwarebytes as a secondary
Thanks again for the response
