arjunned, the security tools are technically free so is good to be prepare and protected. I never have a big problem in my computers with virus or spyware. The few format I did to the computers came from Windows errors. And all the programs that I have now, work fine without compatibilities issues.
I have some experience helping friend and neighbors with their computers and technically in all cases needed to download Scanners. I lose time just downloading and installing them. So is better to have them in the computer.
My basic recommendation to basic users.
one Anti-Virus with Automatic Update
one Firewall
one Spyware Scanner

I never knew you can choose Scanner vs Guard ... just ran it in Standard Mode.
Q1: Is the "Guard" mode the more Aggressive Mode to protect someone when Surfing the Net?
Q2: What is the Default ... Scanner Mode or Guard!?!?
Thanks,

I will install and scan my laptop using SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware if my laptop get infected. If both of these softwares can't destroy the infection, I got to use SmitfraudFix.

I will use CCleaner and Tune Up Utilities to fix them. -
