What security setup do you have?

[ExplicitUrSelf]

As far as i know i'm using Kaspersky Internet Security 2010.

As far as i know i have kaspersky internet security 2010. win firewall on. i was wondering if it's safe to use Malwarebytes... and what procedure should i do my scans?

I think you are safe in using Malwarebytes as an added layer of security. I use the free version and scan once or twice a week. I don't use Kaspersky. but I don't think they will clash as long as you don't have too many programs trying to monitor in real time at the same time.

Just using Microsoft Security Essentials and standard Windows Firewall. I don't download illegal software, only browse legitimate websites and don't even waste my time with e-mail from people I don't know.

Sounds like you have got it goin' on. I also use W7 firewall and MSE. I just have a couple of extra layers of security in case something were to slip by or I visit a site that has been hacked, and you never know which one that could be.

Hi, ExplicitUrSelf.

Yes, Malwarebytes (MBAM) is certainly safe. Since you have a security suite, you can use for occasional scans as a check-up. You may want to do a full system scan the first time, but a quick scan is all that will be needed after that.

Avast! Internet Security 2010 v5.0.594

Disabled items:
Windows firewall
Windows defender

I even disabled these services: ( these frees some RAM and makes computer run faster, actually these are useless)
Security Accounts Manager
Security Center

I don't know if C|Net actually provides the current version of MBAM or if that is a typo since the current version is 1.46. Regardless, it is likely a rogue that is giving the message to purchase the program. MBAM is free for personal use.

I suggest you try the random installer from here: http://mbam.malwarebytes.org/program/random-installer.php

It runs as explorer.exe and the Window name is random.

Thanks for the link. regarding the first place i tried to get the program from i mentioned the link above.im assuming its legit condidering that its from cnet.com

 

[Corrine]

The C|Net link may be legit but it is extremely out of date and would require a hefty update.

It's basically whatever you feel comfortable with.

I have McAfee (which came with the system) and MSE (Which I trust more then McAfee)

The reason for that being that MSE Caught a couple of worms/viruses going around the school that McAfee didn't.

Firefox add-on NoScript
Firefox add-on Foxy Proxy
Malwarebytes
