My current antivirus software that I use is Microsoft Security Essentials. I like it, detects & prevents well, and it uses very little system resources which is important. I was thinking of downloading some of the other top, free antimalware software such as:
Malwarebytes
AVG
Lavasoft Ad-Aware
Spybot - S&D
I was thinking of downloading them. After downloading them, I would turn off Microsoft Security Essential's realtime protection. Then I would install Malwarebytes. I would make sure to NOT select realtime protection in the installation setup/settings. After installation, I would perform a full scan. If any malware was detected, I would obviously clean it. Then I would uninstall Malwarebytes.
I would repeat this process, one by one, with the other free antimalware programs listed above, making sure that I uninstall each antimalware program before installing the next one. And making sure NOT to select realtime protection for any of them.
I am thinking about doing this process just to make sure my computer is clean and free of malware. My computer is not experiencing any problems or slowdown, but I was thinking about doing this process just to be on the safe side.
Now here is my question...
If I were to perform this process, after the process is complete and all of the antimalware software is uninstalled from my computer (except my current antimalware software, Microsoft Security Essentials, that I plan to keep)...
Would this process slow down my computer in any way after it's complete? I want to know if installing all these antimalware programs will somehow slow down my computer after they are uninstalled. Will they leave anything behind in the registry or wherevere that will slow down my computer? Do you guys think this process is a good idea? If not, why?
(Please don't respond with any negative comments. I want to hear your input on the matter.)

Installing Antivirus software then uninstalling it after the full scan will slow down the computer?
