AV issue

Also this came up for an update:

 

Windows Defender AV is enabled by default. Just stay with it for now. Just do regular scans with either SuperAntispyware or MalwareBytes and you're good.

 

It comes with Windows Defender installed and if you're comfortable with that you don't need to do anything.

 

does this get both virus & spyware and do i have to do anything, does it automatically scan for me

 

Compliment Windows Defender with MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware both run on demand and you'll be set.

 

you need both malwarebytes AND superantispyware?

 

Malware takes care of malware and SuperAntiSpyware takes care of spyware. You don't need either, but it's a bloody good idea if you want to keep clear of malware and spyware.

 

Well, malware is considered to be everything except viruses, not exclusively, so basically you should have a firewall, antivirus and antimalware, but most antiviruses can handle both like Windows Defender, even the definition states: "Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, scareware, and other malicious programs." Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware are pretty much in the same category. It does not hurt to have both, even though SuperAntiSpyware is falling behind lately, so you can loose it calmly, Malwarebytes is good enough.

 

The opposite here. I have both the pro version of SAS and MBAM but the latter don't pick up anything most of the time. Either MBAM isn't that good or I am doing the right thing whenever I am online. *Smile But yeah, doesn't really hurt to have both.

 

I run MBAM and SAS scans every weekend, and as with badrobot I find SAS picks up plenty of stuff while MBAM is nearly always 99% clean. Overprotective? Maybe, but I'd much rather be safe than sorry.

 

Hi there

Why BOTHER with Malware bytes / anti spywhere --- There is 100% NO POINT in finding out AFTER the fact that your computer "Might have become infected". - If it did -- then WHEN -- you don't know so what's the point of BATCH running any protection - the built in system is as good (or as bad depending on your point of view) - anything else is like "Monday Morning Quarterbacking".

Only REAL TIME protection is any good - Windows does that quite OK - so what's the difference in running the Windows defender scan or malware bytes -- ZERO - ZILCH.

If you set your firewalls up (both on Windows and on your Router) you can easily see if there's anything attempting to connect OUTBOUND - so easily enough to protect against things like "Keyloggers" which Windows defender should pick up in the firstplace.

You also have to decide what exactly IS malware -- some legitimate programs (by "legit" I mean standard windows programs that operate simply as windows applications) which throw up zillions of popups etc won't usually be stopped by "malware stoppers".

You need to ensure that downloaded programs can't start system services and block any attempt by a program other than your browser to access the web - easily done by decent FIREWALLS.

The problem comes when you DOWNLOAD things where the actual download is hidden so you either download the wrong program or special offers you don't want or load your system with crazy amounts of toolbars.

If you ensure you ONLY download legit stuff this will never happen. The standard built in system will handle all the likely viruses you might encounter.

I've already thrown out a challenge to all the security gurus here where I said - show me or infect an MKV / MP4 / FLAC / MP3 file that will actually corrupt my machine or do any damage -- provided the file is not in an archive form - in other words the file must be xxxx.yyy where yyy is the music codec. If the music player won't play it then you know it's junk and no damage has been done --you haven't run it as an EXECUTABLE but merely accessed the file as DATA called up by your music application.

Nobody has given me such a file yet !!!.

As I keep re-iterating - HOME users should pay much more attention to the HUMAN ways in which they can be scammed online - these MASSIVELY outnumber any forms of attack by Viruses etc. None of these scams can be prevented by SOFTWARE either.

Corporate / Enterprise systems are another matter entirely.

Cheers

Everything you said is true jimbo. But not everybody is probably on the same level of your computer expertise. SAS and MBAM are second layer of protection in case someone missed anything you mentioned above. For me SAS and MBAM are like vacuum cleaners. I use them to clean up my system for optimum performance. And it doesn't hurt to use them.
Have you tried any of the 2?

 

im not entirely sure how on what to do with antimalware or superantispyware after you scan and finds items, do you quarantine (which is the default option) or remove
