    Microsoft Security Essentials???


    Please advise. I am running Microsoft Security Essentials and that is all. I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Should I be running any thing else such as a maleware program?? If so which one do you recommend and how do you install. Thanks again for all your help and cooperation.
    Sincerely,

    You should use malwarebytes
    Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: Malwarebytes

    Make sure that your Windows Firewall is activated.

    If you are not happy with the Windows Firewall (activate from control panel) let us know and we will suggest others.

    I agree. Malwarebytes is all you need alongwith MSE. If you use the free version, be sure to update and scan regularly with it.

    I would get SuperAntiSpyware to run alongside MSE.

    Richard thank you very much. One other question I am trying to put a picture in my profile but for some reason it will not load. Any suggestions. The size of the pic is 18.6 kb.
