sAs Wizegeye points out.... Using one product will not get every threat. To maintain your computer you might want to try this list as a starting point.

1. One All in One tweaking program ( like advanced system 3)
2. At least two programs to remove malware (Anti-Malware ,PC Tools Threat Fire, spybot etc.)
3. One Anti-Virus Program (AVG Free,AntiVir, or Avast)
4. Use a firewall program (like zone alarm)
5. Use an alternative Web Browser (like Safari, Opera, Firefox, etc.)

McAfee has had trouble with recent updates.

i have done a lot research on this and to date the 2 best out there are avast and defender pro.

What wizegeye said

avg

have used several, and recently having had worries about virus and malware attacks, I checked out lots ot um. But in the end, McAfee is doin' a good job, I also have Spybot, but neither Mc or Spybot every finds anything. So the McAfee firewall is doing it's job.

Ok I already use that - Spybots S&D - but the last time I had my computer serviced - they suggested using the Advance also - just curious

I use spybot search and destroy. It's pretty thorough, but you need to re-vaccinate your browser everytime you update the browser. It has something called "tea-timer" that sits in your systray and prevents anything from changing registry settings which is nice.


charter has free antivirus/malware software if you are with them. It's pretty good, but a memory hog (like most anti-virus programs).

I like Malwarebytes.

Anyone????

Hey guys - I would like to know what is the best FREE anti-malware - I use to use Advanced Window Care but not able to find it on filehippo Thanks a bunch!!! Just wanting to update things
