Answer» I am currently running:
Avast! Free Edition
Windows Defender
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (free edition)
Windows Firewall
I don't like Windows Defender. I want to replace it with another, free, reliable anti-spyware program. What should I use? SOMETHING THAT IS CONFLICT-FREE WITH AVAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And overall, do i have good PROTECTION?
EDIT: Apparently, Avast! auto-updates every 240 minutes, by default. I thought it updated immediately when there were new virus definitions? Can I set it so that it updates like this? 1) You cannot set an av to update when there are new definitions - how would it know?
2) I don't care for Windows Defender EITHER and I always disable it on all of my systems. You're FINE without it. The only thing I would ADD to what you ALREADY use is SpywareBlaster free edition. It does NOT run resident and you need to remember to update it about once a week. It blocks known malicious web sites. Other than that you should be fine.
