Not that impressive an article.

In short, don't run 2 ant-viruses in real time.

His recommendation to use any product from Teknum Systems aka Handibits, without mentioning spyware is silly.

Google"Teknum spyware."

Listed as threat in Spybot search and destroy database, for it's :
"constantly in stealth running updater."

Teknum is known to be a pig to remove completely.
Search wildersecurity for opinions on Teknum uninstall.lol

Here are instructions for removing Teknum from spywarewarrior:

You might notice, that after uninstalling, you will then require not 1 , but 2 removal tools and even so:
"Freeatlast said she still had to manually remove the Teknum registry entries first, then after running hbCleanUp & rebooting were they finally gone. Some removal tool."

Hard to take that article too seriously.
