Re: Free Spyware, Malware & Virus Protection

Just browsing the forums, I would highly recommend malwarebytes and avg free!

Used to be an adaware fan but malwarebytes is better IMO.

Just don't put 2 AV programs on at once lol! Av and spyware are ok though.

Read the text under the big orange download button lol. However, it's easy to stop certain windows updates but the free essentials works regardless of passing authenticity

What if you have a less that legit copy of ms office. Would it flag it when virus searching??? Just a thought..... not that I do, you understand!

If i did have one of those copies, which i obviously don't but if i did, i wouldn't have ever had any problems so far. IF i did have one

Alledgedly you used to get a few virus/spyware warnings
and can stop Windows updates

I use Open Office (thats free) now

Also remember to have Malware (spyware) software on your computer.
sometimes anti virus software does not pick up spyware.
(most of it is harmless}

I think most will agree Malware Bytes is a good one to have
and remember to keep it updated and run a regular scan
download the free version (click the free button)
