    Norton and other spyware?


    We've been using Norton Internet Security for years. Should we also run another antispyware program to go with it? Is MSE that everyone talks compatible and does it
    complement Norton very well. Or is the antispyware in Norton good enough?

    Thanks for the input

    I feel, and most agree, the best combination is MSE and Malwarebytes. In fact, I have been making that suggestion in many posts. Many have come back to thank me and said that they found malware that the others have missed. They are free, no annual fee and have small footprints Give them a try, and save yourself a lot of money.

    Here is what Windows 7 recommends for security: Understanding security and safe computing.

    Thanks for replying so quickly. I have another year left on my Norton. Should I add
    MSE and/or Malwarebytes to Norton ?

    Thanks

    No, you can add Malwarebytes, but Not MSE. It may cause problems having more than one anti virus.

    Even though you have a year left, replace it with MSE. You get better protection and it will cost the same, if you keep Norton or not.

    I am posting this in a separate post due to importance. Noton is insidious, it takes over your Computer. It cannot be removed in the normal fashion. You must go to the website and use the uninstall tool.
