+ 1 on making a system image i learned that the hard way when windows would not boot and start up repair did nothing.
also is it worth switching from avast to MSE?
Thanks richc46,
I am now using both MSE & Malwarebytes and my laptop is running fine!!.
Beside runing a real time AV and a couple of ondimand scanner i also use spywareblaster for added precausion. u also can give it a try. it has a free version also.SpywareBlaster® | Prevent spyware and malware. Free download.
theres no realtime for spyware blaster
Yes freaky88, there is no realtime protection and it is in no way a replacement for any AV and any Antimalware. Spywareblaster approaches the security in a different way. SpywareBlaster blocks the installation of most ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers and other unwanted programs from the user's computer. SpywareBlaster works by blacklisting the CLSID of known malware programs, effectively preventing them from infecting a protected computer. This approach differs from many other anti-spyware programs, which typically offer the user a possibility to "scan" the memory and hard drive of the computer and remove the unwanted software, after it has been installed. SpywareBlaster also allows the user to prevent privacy hazards such as tracking cookies. Another feature is the ability to restrict the actions of websites known to distribute adware and spyware. SpywareBlaster supports several web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Seamonkey, and Flock. Spywareblasters mainly focuses on prevention. Another advantage of having it is SpywareBlaster does not need to remain running in the background to enable protection, which means there are no extra processes running and using up your computer's memory and processor.
