Eset Antivirus enough for full protection?

[Blaster]

Is Eset Antivirus (or Smartsecurity) enough for full protection? Or should I also use additional malware software?

In case, which malware is #1 atm?

Thanks for helping me out.

use

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware version 1.33 as backup

(disable realtime / use freeware version)

http://www.malwarebytes.org/

_ In case of EAV add a Firewall extra

_ ESS only, enough, with Malwarebytes added.

you worry to much

if you just avoid the really suspicious sites, you will notice that the "need" for a av to be around will be rendered useless.

So you can't watch porn anymore :P

A few weeks ago I got some BS virus off of a newgroup. So I momentarily switched to kapasky (sp?) It works well but its a pain to keep changing s/n every time yours gets blacklisted. So I am back to Nod. Nod works very well with only a small amount of resources used.

Well, I supplement my NOD32 with Spy Sweeper.

I say 4 pron site names and that makes me a pron freak?...way to use ur noggin :D

anyways back on topic.

Just use nod 32, is very light on resources, and has a pretty good detection system.

I use EAV with router firewall, its enough.

Malwarebytes for me too, its the best.

Hi kotaxor,

In your opinion, is Malwarebytes better than Spy Sweeper - please confirm, I'll give it a try.

[Noddy]

NOD32, itself has an antispyware component inbuilt into its engine.

Hi kotaxor,

In your opinion, is Malwarebytes better than Spy Sweeper - please confirm, I'll give it a try.

In my opinion, Malwarebytes IS better than SpySweeper. It is recommended in most troubleshooting website, such as ProcessLibrary Forum.

I have use this to save many malware-infected's computers (friends).

It is recommended to use this in conjunction with HijackThis to rid your computer of virus, trojan, malware and spyware.

The last resort is to use ComboFix, which should be use carefully!(not for the faint-hearted).

And almost forgot, you are a VIP :rolleyes:

[Donaldo]

Alright kotaxor, fair enough & thanks a lot!!!!

Matter-of-fact, I was just about to download the latest release of Webroot Spy Sweeper 6.0.2.49. Thanks to you, I'm going for Malwarebytes, instead.

Malwrebytes for a standalone scanner.Realtime protection sucks though!

Counterspy is my choice for the real time protection.Spysweeper is just a piece of BS now a days.I uninstalled it when it started prompting to register for Webroot back up!I mean I use antispy for what the name says,not for backing up my PC to a webroot server. :)

No, I don't use the Protection module in Malwarebytes.

So far, I find most real time protection a waste of bandwidth.(just my humble opinion). :) :fool:

[Bizarre™]

IMHO, prevention (in the 1st place) is the best protection :)

The pope would disagree with you on that matter :fool: :coolwink:

My reply to this topic: If you have ESET and a firewall installed, and you have some brain cells installed in your head, you should be just fine :fool: If you don't have those braincells I recommend installing every program that claims to make your computer safer :frusty: *Please don't take this serious*

[Bizarre™]

The pope would disagree with me, but I think google will agree with me :)

Google 1, Pope 0

Thanks man!!!

BTW, I replaced my Spy Sweeper with 'Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.33' and ran a thorough scan - it detected 160 instances of malwares (156 FPs from Evidence Eliminator, 3 FPs from NodLogin & NodEnabler.) However, there was 1 good catch (an inactive trojan that came free with a screensaver d/l.) :lol:

All said, MAM is a small utility that runs much lighter than Spy Sweeper - I'm keeping this one (despite the FPs.) :)

[PsychoticxBloodxLust]

i have fun just using a good av with hard firewall is best if it comes to malware i just dl the latest combofix, save it to c drive rename it thunder_cats, and run it using safe mode with command prompt then rebooting into regular safemode works everytime no flaw

[Donaldo]

Installed MBAM on my one of my Colleague's laptop - it detected 6 nasties that Spy Sweeper had not.

Router firewall??? Can u expand on that a bit please???

[Bizarre™]

kotaxor means he's using both software and hardware firewall.

Router Firewall = Hardware Firewall
