Just a thought.
Could it be that when one runs a scan with MSE and finds nothing, this is because MSE didn't let anything (virus) in the computer?
I'm of the thought that if one runs a scan using their anti virus program and finds virus on their system that should be worrisome.
Those virus had to pass by their anti virus program to get their in the first place.
I have use MSE and Malwarebytes Pro/Premium for years with out problems.
On this computer just yesterday I ran a full scan with MSE, Malwarebytes, SAS and AdwCleaner and found nothing.
To finish off my security scans I used Eset Online scan and found 2 little no nothing, maybe goodies left by Google. Used for tracking from my understanding.
They are gone now.
I really don't know what is the best combination of security one should use.
I just know what has and still works for my systems.
I don't know if the built in Windows 7 firewall is the best. It does work for me.
It has no frills, bells, and whistles. I don't know how it does it job but I believe it does it's job.
I feel my Windows 7 systems are as safe as newer versions of Windows.
Time will tell.
