Solved norton internet security

[alexm]

I have the latest version of norton internet security. what could I use as a spyware, etc. to help further secure my windows 7 home premium laptop??

Norton will cover you for spyware.

You could also install Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: Malwarebytes

theog is right, in that Malwarebytes seems to be universally known and respected. I have also used the following apps with good results:

Ad-Aware and

Trend Micro House Call (this is not from Trend Micro HijackThis)

I agree/use malwarebytes (free) as well as superantispyware (free) with Norton and they all seem to "play" nice with each other

 

[alexm]

the kind of response's I was wanting. I was thinking of mse.

I'm currently running Norton 360 along with MSE and Comodo Firewall/Defense.

They all play well together with no conflicts. MSE plays well with most AV's and any added layer of protection you can get is a nice plus.

As theog said, adding Malwarebytes would be a good idea

thanx guys.

My highest recommendation is "Spyware Doctor". I use it with Norton 360. Excellent protection, strongly recommended. It, in my opinion, it so far the most advanced anti-spyware product I had used.

Norton, MSE plus the HIPS software in the Comodo Defense+ sounds like a lot of computer security bases covered!

I note you are running Win 7 64-bit.

Super Anti-spyware is good choice as it is 64-bit native.
Their update server is however somewhat slower than Malwarebytes server.

I've been using Norton for 3 years and in that time no malware has got past it.

Hahah! Brilliant avatar! Absolutely fantastic!

On a side note, Norton does very well, but if you want to "feel" secure, then you can add more software.

I had Norton on my computer for less than 6 months and it got nailed with a Trojan Downloader followed by 2 consecutive HOSTS file infections the second of which crashed the computer during the removal process.
