Windows 10: MB Premium and Antispyware

I'm running both of these and zero issues.

Does anyone run these AND a stand alone AV program?

Nokia 5800, 75MB memory in use, 11 MB free, 41 MB 'Other Files', 32 MB SIS Applications

Thanks for the suggestions, Hazey. It has helped a bit, but not a huge amount. I've got it down to 70 MB in use, 17 MB free. The only one of your suggestions that I haven't followed was the one about switching the messaging folders from C: to E:. When
I tried switching, I just lost everything in my message folders on C:. Is there any way of copying these messages over?

I still have the 36 MB 'other files' listed when I check the memory details, which is really bugging me.

 

"Deactivation" of "Antispyware"

Thank you JamesYoung9 for the prompt & practical information. I turned on my laptop to carry out your suggestion (the Antispyware pop up did not appear – I think I said that it does not always appear). I went to Windows Defender and 1) I saw no option to
carry out any scan, 2) a message was there saying the settings were being managed by Norton Defender. I went through all the Windows Defender options – Firewall with Advanced Security, Virus & Threat Protection, Windows Defender Firewall, Settings, Security
at a glance, Firewall & Network Protection; everyone said “No actions required”.



I went to Norton 360 and it said as always, everything is fine, but I ran the Norton Power Eraser anyway, which included a “Root Kit” scan and the result was “No threats found”.

Perhaps I should do all the above when/if the Antispyware popup actually next appears. One note, I have in the past clicked the popup but nothing happens that I can see. Also I have searched my laptop for any program called “Antispyware” and found nothing.
I am wary of Malwarebytes, but highly suspect that if Norton Power Eraser found nothing, neither would Malwarebytes.

Thanks again for your help.
