    Help!

    Hey Guys!!!

    On my laptop with Win7 I have Avast Free + Outpost Firewall Pro. Am I secure enough? Does it harm the system if I install some other security software ex: Malwarebytes?

    Screw Google! Ask me!

    So long as MBAM isn't a real time scanner, I don't see a problem with it. (That is, if you bought the pro version)
    pacman -Syyu life not found in sync db

    @ Alboguy:
    A very experienced friend of mine catched a very nasty rogue one year ago.
    He used KIS 2009, firefox + no script and he was behind a router.

    Try to guess what software saved him?

    Yes, you are right
    Roger and out

    It's enough. Just be a responsible user.

    Common_Sense_2010.exe works the best for Windows... too bad it's harder and harder to find these days.

    I use the Common_Sense_2011_beta.deb and .exe, just don't ask for links Or I'll link you to Google haha

    If you navigate with IE8 always install spywareblaster as well.
    If you like to navigate to the dark site of internet, sandboxie is a must.

    the only difference between malwarebytes free version and paid version is real time protection i personally think you don't need paid version
