I like Kaspersky but at the same time always keep at my computer the anti-virus utility based on the Dr.Web scanner. There is no antivirus that protects a PC for 100%. I wouldn't recommend to use free antiviruses at PC every time. It'd be better to buy a good one for one year that is not expensive than to get a new computer again that is quite expensive.

Well, I work a lot of support and I would call myself a virus expert and I would say from my experience of approx 12 years that in reality none are the one big answer!

(I used to be 2nd to 4th tier backing up and supporting Geek Squad , Lavasoft, Trend MIcro, Kaspersky, Panda, Symantec, supportspace, etc, over 13+ security companies by contract!)

What I tell and set my customers up on whom I remove viruses and malware from is to get a few security softwares at the same time , but do not scan them all at the same time or they will conflict with each other. (especially mcafee and norton)

Also, what I give customers is:

1) CCLEANER (Its sole purpose is it Cleans and Organizes your files, registry, etc,so it helps the anti virus softwares run better)

2) Malwarebytes (It is used secondly and does a great all around security job!)

3) AVG (Is used as the third element and is especially excellent for the hidden spyware that regularly sneaks in on your machine and spies on you by the millions of companies! Its sole purpose is to inteligently hide around your system and sneak up on malware, does a great job!)

Some key points to remember is, you have to update and scan regularly depending upon you internet usage and how often you seem to catch malware or else the softwares are no good to you at all!!!!

At a minimum you need to update & scan at least once or twice a week!!!

(especially if you have kids or others using the same PC as you are!)

Also, you have to remember that malware is getting very complex and millions of dollars are used to infect you and are acheived from malware regularly!

Also, you must set your software up properly or it is of no use to you at all!!!

For example, you can set up AVG to schedule daily runs while you are sleeping and also you can set it up to CHECK YOUR SEARCH PAGES WHEN YOU DO A SEARCH SAY A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR SOMETHING AND IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY SEARCH ALL THOSE PAGES THAT COME UP IN YOUR SEARCH ANSWERS AND GIVE YOU A GREEN CHECK FOR THOSE PAGES THAT HAVE NO MALWARE INJECTION ELEMENTS WITHIN THEM, AND YOU CAN GET A SNAPSHOT OF THE PAGE ITSELF, SO NO WORRIES TO YOU TO GO TO THOSE SEARCH RESULTS NOT KNOWING IF THERE IS A VIRUS WAITING FOR YOU THERE, NOW YOU KNOW!!!

*****  WELL I HOPE I HELPED SOMEBODY TODAY???  

If anyone gets viruses and malware and needs virus removals, slow pc optimzations, etc shoot me an email at bigbyrc@aol.com and give me a few hours to a day to reply and if you have a internet connection I can connect to you remotely and fix you virus problems, windows issues, slow pc issues, etc!!!

DONT WORRY I will help you out for a cheaper price than any of the big box companies and you do not have to worry about not having an expert, I am an Malware Removal Expert and I know how it is!!!

* (My usually charge is around $20 per hour to completely remove your malware, no matter how complex and to optimize your computer back to a almost brand new state and I load you up with a full PRO VERSION of Malwarebytes AV, CCleaner, AVG Free and I also do an diagnostic to tell you what you need, like RAM or your CPU is going out, etc!!!) 

Usually it takes anywhere from 2 to 4 hours to completely remove all malware manually from your files, hidden files, registry, system files, etc, this can not be done effeciently with just running security software, you have to know what you are doing first and you have to reverse engineer malware manually!!! Then afterwards you run the security software last to grab up the rest of what I have torn up and exposed to clean up the trash leftover!!!

Thanks it has been nice, have a great day classmates!!!

Respectfully,

Robert
