• I wonder if I should just remove all viruses of any operation protestion and find one that will do everything. I read that there is protection against viruses like the vest?

  Someone please tell me what is the name of the best virus, horse of trogen, spywear, registry cleaner, and anything else that I need to buy to protect my computer bugs and people? How can I check that windows update my computer? and then I delete all updates of old? or leave it on? I did encript my router, but then I heard that I needed the wen 2? or something like that, it's the 3 letters but it also adds the number 2 behind it and I don't have that one. Looks more like kill, but the neighbors are bad. Thank you!

  Hello

  1. do not use ANY registry cleaner like those who claim to be able to solve a lot of problems are all hype or
  Worst SNAKE OIL.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  2. here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  3. start (button) - Control Panel - Windows Update - view update history.
  Best to leave only updates, unless there are problems.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  4. set your router to use either WEP (ok), the (better) WPA or WPA2 for security (the best).

  I hope this helps.

• Protection against viruses, need both ClamXav and opendns?

  Recently, I got a Trojan virus on my MacBook Pro stupidly opening an attachment of Google Docs sent to me by e-mail.  I changed the password, the deleted e-mail created by the virus filter and changed the dns to opendns.  Now I'm running ClamXav for a good scan.  I see an offer to purchase opendns on an annual basis.  Is it recommended to buy the two ClamXav and opendns?  What are different and they compliment each other?

  You shouldn't have to be.  Generally running a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac will identify these problems and allow you to eliminate them.

  https://www.Malwarebytes.org/antimalware/Mac/

  It does not run in the background, so it will not have any impact on the negative performance on your Mac.

  In addition, it is often recommended by the phone Apple support technicians and the genius bar.

• How can I activate on protection against viruses (ON TOUR) gives no response?

  I downloaded Micro security its all working but cannot turn on virus protection

  If you had any anti-virus make sure you deleted them and use cleaning tools to remove them completely.

  Update your Windows and update of MSE. If the problem has not decided to contact technical support:

  https://support.microsoftsecurityessentials.com/

• If you download and install Windows 7, it will eliminate bugs, Trojan horses, viruses that exist in your computer right now? I have a virus or some thing, that means, unless I have download this protection against viruses of fantasy, it doesn't let me do

  I tried to restore the computer to an earlier date, but not is not good, it let me just go back one day, I tried to start in safe mode, is not good at all.

  Formatting the hard drive and installing Windows 7 (or any other operating system) annihilates all infections except MBR (Master Boot Record) disc.

  Your computer probably has a rogue security program . If you want to try to remove it yourself, first run a full scan with your antivirus program.  Next, download and run these programs:

  Microsoft Windows malicious software removal tool
     Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

• recommend the best protection against the virus mac

  Can anyone recommend the best protection from viruses for mac application?

  Picked up a Trojan horse. Bought new machine - don't want the same thing from happening again.

  Thank you

  Please read of effective defenses against software malware and other threats.

• Built-in protection against malicious software or viruses

  Mac Mini OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 has built-in malware and virus protection?  When I tried to install AVG and MalwareBytes, I usually "Mac can't get the virus.  Sorry, but I don't know no better, having witnessed two friends Mac-user suffer by infections.  So I thought to install AVG and Malwarebytes.  That is until I just read a great article on the subject on this site.  One thing that he mentioned was built-in protection against malware.  He has appointed several versions that have this built-in protection, but does not have the name OS X El Capitan.

  The easiest way of defence is to avoid downloading software from sources other than the Mac App Store or Developer Web sites; unless you are concerned about malicious Windows software, everything you need to guard against it is integrated into the operating system.

  MalwareBytes simply provides an easy way to remove malware; It does nothing to prevent it from entering the computer. It should not be considered as protection.

• Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool not doing anything to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

  original title: WHY Windows Update keep up to date USELESS of Windows Defender and installation USELESS malware remover?

  I'm a computer technician who makes a TON of virus remove money from Windows computers.  Two-thirds of my tasks of repair involving the elimination of viruses from Windows and trying to fix the Internet Explorer, the worst browser known to humanity.

  I have a question about Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool.  These are two programs entirely worthless, evidenced by the fact that computers with them installed still get infected of all viruses, Trojan and rootkit out there.  Clearly, if these two programs of malware Microsoft has done anything to protect your computer, it would have been without having to release still a THIRD tool antivirus, "security essentials" for Microsoft.   I'm not complaining — the way Microsoft Windows absorbs malware like a sponge, put a lot of money in my bank account. Please keep doing what you're doing... however...

  My question is, given that Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool doing nothing to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

  Windows defender is not an antivirus program, it is designed to protect against spyware.

  If you don't like them, so do not use them.

• As 10/21 update will not protection against vulnerabilities Norton 11.1.0.73 - 1, I want to put to day &amp; product Norton, HOW CAN I?

  I would like to apply update but do not want to loose 11.1.0.73 - 1 Norton Protection against vulnerabilities
  Is this possible? If so, how?

  Guaps, really should not be a problem as 16.0.2 is just an update to security chemspil as always is 16.0 well enough.

  Zubair was happening back saying it is Firefox 16.0.2 which is not compatible and Norton which is not yet updated to be compatible with the 16.0.2.

  Mozilla has nothing to update with Firefox 16.0 unless there was some tiny chance of a regression with 16.0.2 (which would be a first) causing problems. It's Norton who must be compatible, if that is the problem and to me if it is compatible with 16.0 so it should be compatible with the 16.0.2 as why they make too demanding things if that's what they do.

  In addition, it is 16.0.2 and not 16.02

• Is what level of protection against shock disc in Portege R830

  People,

  I work in an area where there are a lot of people who wear their laptop Portege (especially the R830) autour while they are still on - mainly well they are switching from a desktop to the meeting etc. rooms and often their transport on an angle. I feel a bit silly because I insist on the mine to sleep before she started.

  What level of protection against shock disc is there in these laptops? Am I paranoid or everyone of inviting disaster?

  Thank you

  Yokki

  Hello

  First of all its not really good for the drive if the laptop would be inappropriate while the HARD drive is used in this case head read/write from the disk HARD would be hit while holders along but there is a software called Toshiba HDD protection using a sensor built into the laptop. HARD drive protection detects the vibrations and shocks and HARD drive head moves automatically in a safe position to reduce the risk of damage caused by the head in contact with disc.
