Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware RTP

[EchoX860]

I will throw down any amount of money to make sure my sexy beast of a PC run like a dream.

Now what it comes down to is:

Should I buy them?

I already have Norton AV running as well as D+ from Comodo.

I'll probably disable the RTP since it's bad to have more than 1 running at the same time.

But having that Auto Scan/Update will be beneficial in the long run since I'll most likely forget to Scan/Update On-Demand

I highly recommend Malwarebytes - I have the paid version, and it just runs along nicely in the background. I do not think you will regret it.

Okay, great! If I decided to turn on MBAM and SAS's RTP will they have issues with each other or NAV?

 

[Golden]

Not with NIS2011 (I run both as resident without any problems)....Im unsure about the others though.

Your best bet is to ask that very same question in the MBAM forums....they are pretty good at answering compatibility issues between various suites. You can also add the various different suites into the exclsuion lists to limit/prevent any interference.

Thanks. I run NAV, since the only difference is a Firewall and Anti-Spam, it should be fine. I will go ask

Real time protection can be free.

Get rid of Norton AV, altogether Download and run the Norton Removal Tool to uninstall your Norton product | Norton Support I've seen way too many infections get by this Anti-virus application.

Download Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

Next, download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to scan for unwanted malware every few days |MG| Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.50.1 Download

Also download Spyware Blaster and keep it updated! SpywareBlaster® | Prevent spyware and malware. Free download.

Windows7 Firewall should be fine to use, but you could try Agnitum (Outpost)
Download Outpost Personal Firewall from Agnitum

If you're downloading illegal stuff using torrents, or any other P2P software, then you most likely won't be protected by paid for or free Anti-malware applications.
The "garbage" being distributed today in such downloads is extremely sophisticated!

I personally am not a fan of MSE. I feel it's just way too basic.

I have turned on RTP for both MBAM and SAS and my PC doesn't feel slower. I was told to add MBAM and SAS to Norton and D+'s exclusions. So lets see

Sometimes less can be better. I have not used an Antivirus in years preferring to run my browser in the virtual space of ultra-lightweight Sandboxie using Virus Total online and Malwarebytes context menu scanning on anything I want to download from the internet with 100% success of having 0 Malware infections.

Sandboxie confused me I think I'll run FF in Sandbox on Firewall Defense +

I agree that Sandboxie can be confusing at first, but there is plenty of help on the Sandboxie Forums where the developer Tzuk posts regularly. You can learn how to set up Sandboxie so that you can safely download files from the internet and keep changes you make in the browser like new passwords.

The main problem with running your browser in the Comodo Sandbox is that you are prevented from downloading anything from the internet and you can not change or save any settings like bookmarks, but if that is no concern to you then it is quite safe and you could effectively put both Defense+ and your AV out of a job if your computer is the only one on the LAN.

I'd not run MBAM & SAS RTP together..
Even if you have them in their respective ignore list, running 3 RTPs will sooner or later, cause conflictions. An eg. is that i keep allowing prompts from ZA firewall to install catalyst driver, but it didn't until I shut down ZA.
Suppose if malwarebytes catch a malware and at the same time the other 2 also catch it's presence, then they all will compete for its removal causing serious conflicts or suppose if just malwarebytes caught it, then sas and norton will see mbam's deleting of another object as potentially malicious action and you can imagine whats next.
Its like in the fight of three, the threat escaped.
IMO, one should have atmost, 2 RTP, more than enough. 3 will be like overkill.

I recommend getting the Pro version of Malwarebytes because its very good at detecting rogues and it has the IP Block list which blocks alot of bad sites. I say buying a pro version of SAS is a waste of $$. If you wanna spend money on another security program, i suggest buying Hitman Pro. Its very good at detecting and removing all kind of malwares. Also you do not have to update the database since it's in the cloud, which you will always have an up-to-date database and it has a very fast scan.

+1 For Hitman Pro! While doing Malware scans of software before transferring it from the virtual space of Sandboxie to the 'real' computer using the context menu scanners of both Malwarebytes and Hitman Pro on several occasions I've seen Hitman Pro (free version) find Malware in Sandboxed software that Malwarebytes (free version) had completely missed!

Hitman Pro uses around 5-6 anti-virus. Chances of it missing something is slim to none. a combo of sandboxie + hitman pro is almost bullet proof.

 

[Alphamale]

Malwarebytes Pro works great.

Add in the use of Virus Total's 43 Malware Scanners for all downloads from the virtual sandbox under 20 MB and Malwarebytes' context menu scanner and that's just what I use and I haven't seen so much as a tracking cookie detected on either of my computers since I started using Sandboxie 2 years ago even though I haven't used an Antivirus software in ages!

MaxxWire, quick question for you. When i first boot-up Comodo it says My PC is about to join a new Network. Is this my Home Network? I keep clicking cancel since I don't know what it is.

 

[Maxxwire]

Is this my Home Network?

Yes it is. Have you used the Comodo Stealth ports Wizard to block all incoming connections and make your computer's ports stealth for everyone?

[EchoX860]

No I haven't. I just did a Reformat. So all I did was Install it, Put D+ in Training Mode and updated it (several times actually)
