Is there any "5 in 1" thingies? One soft that would do everything? (milk a cow, clean the house, prepare food and do laundry)
Yes and no. Yes they exist, no they're not any good.

They clean -- but don't disinfect

SALINAS, California (AP) -- Though less than a year old, the PC took more than five minutes to start up and never shut down without stalling on error messages. Attempts to Web surf generated at least a half-dozen pop-up ads and -- frequently -- system freezes.

Internet Explorer's home page was hijacked. Attempts to reach some sites, including eBay, were redirected to random search engines that only called up more ads. Google search results were altered. And the modem, without permission, tried to dial distant lands in search of porn.

I've found it good too. I don't use the computer at home to access the internet very often, but I found a number of viruses on it when I first installed it. I keep it under tight enough security these days.
