can I use Firefox with other anti virus programs like avast?
I've been told one should not use more than one anti virus. I just bought avast and want to know if I can keep FF on computer?

The good news is, Firefox is a web browser, not an antivirus program, so yes, you can use Firefox and Avast together.
Were you previously using a different antivirus program that installed a toolbar in Firefox? You might want to remove those as part of your switch. You can review and disable or remove toolbars on this page:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Does that work?

Thanks! I thought FF also had anti virus and other stuff in it. Thanks.
Firefox only contains some phishing and malware protection.
