Software to protect Windows 7

[Smorton]

I am looking for recommendations for keeping Windows 7 running smoothly. I used EaseToDo to go back to an earlier version of my operating system. That went smooth and I thought I should start protecting my system.

Currently I am using Microsoft Security Essentials.

Any recommendations for Anti-virus, Mal ware, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Along with MSE, MBAM, SAS, and CCleaner I also use Spyware Blaster, some use WinPatrol, and Windows Firewall - How To all free.

Microsoft Security Essentials is a great accurate but user-friendly security software. I pair it up with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware as my on-demand scanner for monthly scans and external drives. So MSE is for Real-time protection

Im using NOD32 for a long time as an antivirus.. seems ti solve all the problems..
and I also have CCleaner (Free tool) which I use sometimes to clean temporary files etc..
