    My Windows 7 Journey


    Hey all! I just recently went from XP to 7. I have a desktop with Pro and a netbook with Ultimate. I came here back when I first got the two pcs and had a lot of questions and got priceless info. After research and experimentation this is what I settled on.

    I already had the lifetime paid versions of Malware Bytes and Super Antispyware. I am running both of those in real time and with daily scans, alongside the paid version of Avast Security. The only reason I paid for Avast was because of a 2 year special that they were running. I have Avast setup in real time with daily scans.

    I have had absolutely 0 conflicts whatsoever, and all 3 are running great!!

    Thanks again!!

    Hello jack 1953,

    Might I suggest you consider SpywareBlaster too.{ free & paid versions available}
    It will give you another layer of protection also.
    Read about it here...

    SpywareBlaster® | Prevent spyware and malware. Free download.

    BTW. What firewall are you using?

    Thanks JMH, I will check it out. I am using the firewall from Avast. I got a deal on Avast Security System for 2 computers and 2 years.

    Downloaded and installed SpywareBlaster. From what I can gather, it has no scan feature and the free version has to be updated manually in order to keep protection up to date? Is that pretty much it? Getting the paid version gives you automatic updates?
    Thanks,

    You're right.
    There's no scanning involved.
    SB puts a ton of known bad sites in IE's Restricted sites and in many other Browsers too.
    Just check for updates once a week.
    How does SpywareBlaster's protection work?

    Similar to how one might plug the leaky holes in a ship, SpywareBlaster secures your browser against potentially unwanted software and sites - preventing the installation of spyware and other potentially unwanted software, exploitation of security vulnerabilites, and much more. Most importantly, however, SpywareBlaster works without interfering with the good side of the web.

    SpywareBlaster provides protection for your favorite web browser(s):

    Internet Explorer
    Mozilla Firefox
    Netscape
    Seamonkey
    Pale Moon
    K-Meleon

    and browsers that use the IE engine, including:
    AOL web browser
    Avant Browser
    Slim Browser
    Maxthon (formerly MyIE2)
    Crazy Browser
    GreenBrowser
    I already have an anti-spyware program. Why do I need SpywareBlaster®? - Kayako SupportSuite Help Desk Software

    The only thing I don't see that would be nice is if it was designed to protect Chrome. I use IE on my netbook, but chrome on my desktop. I guess I could import bookmarks into IE on the desktop as well!

    JMH, what is the benefit for the paid version of SB?

    Disregard, I located it: SpywareBlaster® AutoUpdate

    I have never used this product before. I'm going to try it out.

    Update: I went to download the SpywareGuard companion and got this warning:

    Hi, BugOutMachine.

    That is a false/positive by Comodo. The http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/ website is safe.
