Is it unsafe to use 4 antivirus softwares.?

Is it not good or unsafe to use 4 anti virus softwares just to be on the safe side because i use NorthonAntiVirus, Avast, AVG and Ad AWare SE and i don't seem to be having any problems my computers runs smooth and i only use 1 anti virus software at a time its not like im using them all at once but i keep hearing that i should only use one antivirus software and if i do only use one anti virus software what one should i keep?

It is normally recommended to have only 1 antivirus realtime engine running on a computer, but some of us like having different manual scanning engines for thoroughness. Only real problem of having multiple realtime engines is that they can cause some resource issues, application errors and possible detection loops. However since you are not having any problems then keep running the way you are, but if you experience any slowness or errors on running programs then i would suggest disabling the realtime engine for all but 1 of the manufacturers. There is no such thing as the "best" antivirus software IMO so keep the one that you are most comfortable with. As long as it is a reputable manufacturer then the program, engine, signature updates should be readily available.
