Anti Virus, Spyware, Etc.

[Bill Lane]

Hi All:

Here's the order that I run my antivirus/spyware utilities.

AVG 2010, CCleaner, Spybot S&D, Anti-Malware, Privacy History Eraser, Windows RegClean, Super AntiSpyware, Windows Cleanup.

Then I defrag.

Just wondering if anyone thinks I should change the order, the reason I ask is Spybot S&D never finds anything, and it takes a real long time to finish.

Maybe I should quit using Spybot S&D?

Thanks ahead of time,

All I use any more is Microsoft Security Essentials, with occasional manual scans with Malwarebytes and CCleaner. The rest of the stuff you are using isn't really necessary.

Thanks glc:

That's going to be a big help, but where do I find Microsoft Security Essentials?

I Went to MS and found it, mssefullinstall-x86fre-en-us-xp.

Going to install now.

I'll let you know if I run into trouble.

I second that...plus I throw in an occasional HijackThis log analysis.
