So im not portected against viruses?

[Green_Phoenix]

I have MBAM 1.45 paid version but I hear its not anti virus... only anti malware can anyone suggest some free anti virus?

[Ibrad]

I recommend Panda Cloud: Cloud AV Home

Though everyone will each recommend there own favorite AV you may want to try each out and pick what one works best on your system.

[ComputerNutjob]

I personally recommend Avast! 5 Home. Fast, lightweight, great detection, and a nice new interface.

The following are my recommendations for antivirus protection along with links to downloads for them (free trials for those that require a purchase so you can try them before deciding):

• Kaspersky (free 30 day trial) The official support forum for this product can be found here
  
• Avira Antivir (free for home use) The official support forum for this product can be found here
  
• ESET NOD32 (free 30 day trial) The official support forum for this product can be found here
  
• Microsoft Security Essentials (free for home use) The official support forum for this product can be found here
  
• Avast! (free for home use) The official support forum for this product can be found here
  

Note: If you decide to use one of the trial versions of one of the paid antiviruses then you will either need to purchase it or uninstall it completely and install a replacement antivirus before the trial expires so that your PC is not left unprotected.

MSE Downloads:

• MSE for XP 32 bit
  
• MSE for Vista and Windows 7 32 bit
  
• MSE for Vista and Windows 7 64 bit
  

Definitions Installers:

Note: if installing the definitions in Windows Vista or Windows 7 you MUST right click the definitions installer and select Run as administrator and click Continue at the User Account Control prompt.

• 32 bit Definitions Installer
  
• 64 bit Definitions Installer
  

Also note that if using the paid version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware with your antivirus in realtime that it is generally a good idea to exclude Malwarebytes' files from your antivirus to avoid conflicts. The FAQ contains examples of setting file exclusions for some known AV products.

Personally, I would hesitate to recommend avast. Version 4.8 was better. The new 5.0 is junk. I would recommend Microsoft Security Essentials.

WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!?!

Oh no, sir, You must be mistaken. Avira 10 is a piece of **** now, Avast five is MUCH better. Say it again and my ears might start bleeding.

The updated version V5.0.462 of avast! works well with MBAM on my systems.

I hope I'm not being too dense -- but it wouldn't be the first time.

I'm thinking of upgrading to the paid version (for personal use) of MBAM ... I just want to make sure it won't co0nflict with Avast! 5. Would that be a safe move?

Thanks.

[screen317]

Yes a safe and effective move!

[ceomag]

Yes a safe and effective move!

Thank you.

Done.

[Haider]

Yes a safe and effective move!

...with all proper exclusions setup in AVAST for MBAM

[igrewold]

Here u will find some free AVs like Avira=Anti-Vir, Avast, AVG...etc. :

[Alex_computer]

I would go with Microsoft Security Essentials for free and Kaspersky for paid.

[yardbird]

@ Alex_computer

I know exile360 runs Kaspersky! you may/may not have an issue with both? I had MSE & Trend Micro Internet Security, when MSE was beta. no issues and MBAM paid!

good luck

My preference is Avira it works great and has good detection rates.

With the full version from Malwarebytes Coupon Code.

[Guest garybear]

Hi ! I use Avira, Online Armor, and Malwarebytes paid in real time, No conflicks, excellent protection. I don't see a lot of difference in Atni Viruses. AVG is a resource hog. Online Armor is a great firewall. Malwarebytes is the best malware fighter you can get. It is one of the first programs that malware fighters tell people that are infected to use.

[Alex_computer]

In my opinion, there is a huge difference in antiviruses. Between the detection rates and resource use, each product has it's own "personality".

I used a similar setup a while back ago. Found Avira to be lightweight, but Online Armor to slow down startup drastically. Otherwise good firewall, but very bad on startup.

[Ciproflex]

There's already no reasonable idea to install 2 or 3 anti-virus system on a single system, but if the products have not conflict it's better to use a hybrid approach .

it's good to test out Eset Nod32 as a supplement of microsoft security essential .

[Guest garybear]

Hi Buttons! I have noticed a slow start up while using Online Armor also. I'm one of those people that only shut down my PC occasionally,so I don't mind the slow start up. Only you young people are in a big hurry, and I'm real old. What firewall do you use??
