Hi Folks:

Just wondering what your favorite Antivirus / Anti-malware combo is.

Have been using Avast / Malwarebytes for awhile and am wondering if there's a newer/better combination I should be using instead.

Thank you,

Hi Jawa,

I use, in my W7 pc, MS Security Essentials and Malwarebytes; and in W10, just Defender and discretion in all the sites I visit. No issues so far.

WIN Defender for anti-virus. Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware for malware.

I'll spare you my "Why Avast is a horrible company" soapbox rant and just add in yet another voice for Windows Defender + Malwarebytes + Common Sense™
