I have Microsoft Forefront Client Security and I LOVE IT!! I've had many viruses in the past and with this software I get a warning right away if a site I am on is trying to give me a virus. It intercepts the virus and allows me to remove it before any damage is done. It's great!

After much trial and error at experimenting with different anti-virus and anti-spyware applications, I have this setup.



Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE).

Malwarebytes AntiMalware (MBAM).

WOT for safe web browsing (no conflicts with other software nor slows down my browser).

http://www.mywot.com/



MSE is lightweight, leaves a small footprint, has a very low level of false/positives readings, doesn't kill you with annoying prompts and is basically a set it and forget program.

MBAM I use as a compliment to MSE and has become the standard today at malware detection and removal. Run MBAM at least once a week and anytime you may have suspicious files. Always update before scanning.

WOT to which I previously spoke on, is a great tool for determining whether to click into a bad website and getting hit with malware. More of a preventive tool.



The first and foremost preventive measures one can take is to always use safe browsing practices. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure, anyday.



Stay safe.

Hi there,



Different security software will run differently on different machines. What might be good for one may not be so great for another. The easiest thing you could probably do, is download Avast Free. Its had great reviews this year, even out performing branded purchasable compaines. Then after you have that, be sensible on your machine, don't try and download dodgy stuff and you should be just fine. I have added a recent review on Avast incase ite something your interested in.

Good luck
