What other softwares do I need to “beef” up my computer’s security?
So here is how it goes. Recently I’ve been tagged with the “Vista Internet Security” Malware. Downloaded SUPERAntiSuperware trial version and got rid of it. I got NOD32 but I mean obviously I need a little more “umphhhh” and meat in my security. What other legit softwares out there could I use to protect my computer?
I have:
NOD32 AV
SUPERAntiSpyware (Trial)
Norton Internet Security and Mcafee Internet Security are always good choices. Just buy them at your local electronics store.
Malwarebytes ( its free , but you can pay for the upgraded version )

I also use Spywareblaster and Comodo Firewall
threatfire alongside avira or avast or avg as threatfire and one of the three(free i might add) are compatible and will secure your pc or beef it up as you say.also dont forget windows firewall,plus another on demad scanner is malwarebytes which is excellent and free,dont forget to update your security products regularly.threatfire will update live as new threats are detected gl :-)
SuperAntiSpyware does not protect anything, it’s used after the fact. Install spywareblaster it prevents malware. That and your AntiVirus program and a firewall would be enough. WOT is a good Idea also it will warn you against bad sites.
Keep your windows updated, watch where you surf.
i use IObit Security 360 and Advanced System Care i use the free verson but if you want you can get the paid verson ( it gives you more options ) also make shure you have a good fire wall i also use PC tools fire wall plus . it works great and ill tell you a little bit about them the security 360 one protects you from all kinds of virusses and the advanced system care boosts your PC’s speed and defrags and junk file clean all thatr good stuf also make shure you do scans very often !!!!!!!!!! and what ever you do do not go to norton!!!!! heres the web sites to download these http://iobit.com/ this one is for the advanced system care and the iobit security 360 and this one http://www.pctools.com/firewall/ is for the fire wall
ThreatFire is a good behavior blocker that will work alongside NOD32. If NOD32 misses a piece of malware, ThreatFire will pop up an alert telling you “File X” is attempting to do something suspicious (e.g. connect to the Internet or modify system files).
You can get it at [http://www.threatfire.com/]. It’s free.
You can rely on Eset Smart Security
