I think I get the message. Malwarebytes and my wits it is for me then.

Shame! Cheers for the recommendations though.

Hi, Do people use the full version of Malwarebytes instead of a virus checker ? Is it recommended by the authors ? I ask for a couple of reasons: . There are a lot of posts on this forum from people still running virus checkers as well. . The malwarebytes web site doesn't seem to market it as such. . I will only tolerate one such piece of software on my system. . I have a goodish sense of smell for most viri. Many is the time with many different virus checkers over the years that I have told it to specifically check an item I doubted only to be told it was clean. Then when I double click on it the virus checker goes mental in a kind of "Look what I just let in" way. Basically I don't have a lot of time for most virus checkers. Malwarebytes however seems to have a very good sense of smell to, I would very much prefer to use it. . Malwarebytes can actually remove viri, instead of saying it's removed only to find it again in the next scan. . It's little and light, only two processes running for the live protection, instead of the 6 most virus checkers seem to like to run. Given that: . I don't need email protection . I don't need phishing protection (I can read URL's) . I don't need web protection (Firefox with noscript seems to be able to take care of it's self and I don't use virus explorer) . I don't need Instant Messaging protection . I don't need peer2peer protection . I don't need mind your shoe laces protection . etc.. Is malwarebytes a suitable replacement ? Cheers.
