Answer» Patio - Vista Home Basic 32 bit I am running SuperAntispyware and Avast Antivirus about once a week. I was told sometime ago that Malwarebyte was not necessary. I NOTICED that you told a person to run Malwarebyte. Is the two I am running enough to protect me (I have had no trouble so far) or should I also be running Malwarebyte? Thanks BobAll security programs in the world are only half of your protection. The other half is Bobh and his computer habits. You can surely scan with both, Malwarebytes and Superantispyware. Often, one will find something, the other misses. Avast + firewall = good enoughAnd when you say you "run" Avast once a week, I assume it's ALWAYS resident, YES?Hi - Sorry I am so late reading your answers but I have been BUSY the LAST 2 days. However I do thank you for the answers. BobRe: How much security? I had a friend that never locked his house. He never got robbed. Therefore this proved that security is not needed.

Great advice....try that in a city.When I was a kid we lived on a farm and that was true. We lived in Houston, Texas in the 70s and 80s. We locked our doors and got robbed twice. Times do change. Pardon the non computer remark. Bob I think that's the point geek was trying to make "Re: How much security?" like locking your doors to your house depends on where you live, how much security you need depends on What you are using your computer for, if you go online at all, how vigilant you are, etc.Sorry I misted the point. When I first got this computer I had lots of trouble because I was always trying THINGS to see what would work. Now I use it and have no real problems. Bob
