Also have Spyware Blaster. AVG is also a good one, but is a resource hog. I have cleaned up too many pc's that had the "great" Norton or McAfee with all the updates even. Run Malwarebtyes on a pc that had one of them on it and when MB finds the virus, Norton or McAfee will try to claim they found it a second or so later. It really is quite funny to watch the programs fight over it. Seen this many times. Also placing all your trust in a single "catch all" program is just bad anyway. They try to get an overall, and don't truly focus on one thing or another, so they tend to miss things. If I read right, someone uses CCleaner. CCleaner is a great cleaning tool, but it does nothing for malware, that's not it's purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to "download" anything. They do "driveby downloads" nowdays. If you don't have A/V on your pc you have a virus or will get one. Microsoft SE did not find a test virus I have burned to disk. AVG and AVAST did. Malware Bytes found it. WebRoot Secure found it. Anyone should be running a router. Cheap insurance against drivebys.
