I currently have Avast, Spybot search and destroy, and Ad-aware running on my laptop. Is this enough to protect my laptop from most if not all viruses/malware/etc. If not, are there any other programs I should get because I looked at the free software list and I picked these 3 up.

You'll be fine.

Hehe Thanks. My last computer ended up with a ton of viruses, slowing down it down a bunch. I just want to be safe with this new laptop : )

I only run AVG, Spybot and MVPS Hosts on mine. Havent had security issues.
-
Windows Firewall/Defenders, Avast and Spyware Blaster (and surf sensibly) - all I need so far.
cheers ... -
Full List of BEST:
AV(pick 1): Avira(free) / Avast(free) / AVG(not recommended LOL)
Firewall(pick 1): Windows Firewall(free and every windows have it) / Comodo Firewall(free) / Sunbelt Personal Firewall(free)
Antispyware: malwarebytes' anti-malware(free) + SuperAntispyware(free) + SpywareBlaster(free) + Windows Defender(free and vista/7 have it naturally)
So far, these software work great for me. I have them on a few laptops and desktop. No problems at all.
I always recommend these "FREE SECURITY COMBO" for my friends. This combo can be said as same as an PAID version Internet Security/Security Suite but you can have it for FREE. -
Thanks for the suggestions. I got used to using Spybot and Ad-aware, but I guess I can check out the other programs. Better safe than sorry.

I use AVIRA Premium security..
But for free version. here my list :
AV : Avira ( free ), avast
AntiSPyware : SpyBot -
i only have avira premium and have defender disabled.

However, with those back-up software I mentioned such as MBAM and SAS as well as SpywareBlaster and Windows Firewall and Windows Defender. You will not have any more problems.Last edited by a moderator: May 8, 2015 -
you pay for quality imho
-
Both products have paid versions with real-time protection, are they crapware or OK, simply because paid-for?
Maybe you'd be happy with paid-for Norton?
Guess what Symantec support has advised when NAV/NIS failed...the free version of MBAM.
That ought to say something imao. -
cheers ... -
@Baserk:
Wao! Good information.
Good enough to prove MBAM is not a CRAPWARE. It is a GODWARE! -

Freeware is crap!? Yet another dunce on here that thinks deleting the system32 files will make the computer run faster. I've been running AVG, Spybot and Super-Anti Spyware and haven't had any problems. Maybe if you stop clicking those "YOU ARE THE 1,000,000th PERSON TO VISIT THIS SITE. CLAIM YOUR PRIZE NOW" you wouldn't have to deal with a virus overload.

i installed KIS and all was fine
maybe you're the victim of those "YOU ARE THE 1,000,000th PERSON TO VISIT THIS SITE. CLAIM YOUR PRIZE NOW" sites LOL
