Virus protection

FreeCat:
Hi Yep - thanks for the info.  I am still engaged in preserving my recovered  W7 so the physical disk can be brought into a virtual box so I have not looked further except that one of the principals of www.OMGtechhelp.com told me the very best was stopzilla  --- supposedly it is a "...if you box can handle it" thing so I guess it is heavy CPU usage.  Oh, these people who create viruses just to mess with you - uuuugh grrr.... !  I mean is it truly random blind terrorism.   :evil:

I never trust test results from any AV as they will always make themselves look good. Instead I like these :-)

I'm no expert and don't claim to be but aren't Anti Virus, Anti Spyware and Anti Malware  programs different things, each having it's own use?
 It is my understanding that I should, and I do, have all three programs.  I have the Free versions of Malwarebytes for Malware, SuperAntiSpyware for Spyware, and Avast for Viruses.

Willy2:
I have the "paid for" version of AVAST. And the free version of Malwarebytes. I run Malwarebytes every 1 to 2 weeks to see whether AVAST has overlooked something.

If someone has e.g the AVAST AV and firewall running (I have) then one can disable MS WinDefender & MS Firewall. It increases performance of one's computer system.
