Solved Windows Defender & Others

[Ziani]

Hiya

I am setting up my new lappy and planning what spyware/antivirus to use.

I use Avira Antivir personal (free version) and have for a long time and am really happy with it.

I am thinking about installing Spybot and Malwarebytes as well. My question is firstly, does this sound good to you guys and secondly should I be running Windows Defender real time as well? I have read that running all these at the same time can cause conflicts.

I feel you can have too much going on at the same time so my lappy wont know its arse from its head lol.

Would be greatful for any advise, thanks

*Asking for an opinion may result in confusion as many differing ones will be given.

Please consider -
* Microsoft Security Essentials.
It is free. A lot of people use & recommend it here
www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/mse.aspx

* I would also recommend the free version of SuperAntiSpyWare.
SUPERAntiSpyware.com | Remove Malware | Remove Spyware - AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, AntiAdware!

* SpywareBlaster { free} runs happily in the background offering great protection.
Read about it -
SpywareBlaster® | Prevent spyware and malware. Free download.

* Remember to include in your protection a Firewall too.

* IMHO Defender can be overlooked.

* Your new lappy will probably come preinstalled with an Anti Virus.
Should you NOT wish to use it then it needs to be uninstalled { via the Manufacturers uninstall tool} before downloading the AV of your own choice.
