    Software to protect Windows 7


    I am looking for recommendations for keeping Windows 7 running smoothly. I used EaseToDo to go back to an earlier version of my operating system. That went smooth and I thought I should start protecting my system.

    Currently I am using Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Any recommendations for Anti-virus, Mal ware, etc would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Keep a read on this thread: New Security Needed

    Along with MSE, MBAM, SAS, and CCleaner I also use Spyware Blaster, some use WinPatrol, and Windows Firewall - How To all free.

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a great accurate but user-friendly security software. I pair it up with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware as my on-demand scanner for monthly scans and external drives. So MSE is for Real-time protection :)
