I heard that Vipre AV +Anti-spyware is good too? Any ideas?

Someone was emphasing VIPRE to me on several occastions when mentioning I was running AVG. Presently only the IE security is active with that to see just how well the MSE will do. The security bar was re-enabled due to the trojan getting through problem mentioned earlier!

I'm sorry...but what? I've read what you wrote numerous times and I still have no idea what you are trying to say.

I think Night Hawk is saying that it only implements security through IE? lol idk

I was running MSE by itself alone to see how well it would do after a need to disable any AV program due to problems with some softwares run here. Upon seeing a trojan slip right onto the system which MSE found later the IE security toolbar an option seen in AVG 9.0 was re-enabled.

How's that sound? The sercurity toolbar actually does filter all sorts of crap out preventing bugs from getting on in the first place by flagging "questionable sites" even when you see a green check mark by Bing on them!

I think most important question is does the AV doing the job or not?:) Footprint comes second.For me,its better to be secure (kind of)hehe, than just to think what's the footprint of the AV.
Oh, and I have a question for you guys, will threatfire work well with winpatrol installed on the PC?
I'm using avast home edition+comodo firewall+winpatrol+malwarebytes+a squared+hosts file

Excelent point:) Almost always problems are starting with the user

Did someone say "Safe Browsing"?

Browsing the Internet without protection is just plain foolish!

It can't be stressed enough on how important it is to keep your system up-to-date. This not only involves Windows Update, but also all the other programs on your machine. The vast majority of user problems (hijacks, adware/spyware) I see are due to failure to keep Windows patched, and lack of a proper "Layer of Protection".

You'll find plenty to look over on that page! Security Issues for Windows and IE
