On XP I had Malwarebites, Spyware Blaster, and Super Anti Spyware. Now that I have HP WIN7, and getting somewhat used to it, I have a question. Do I need/want all of those?
Firefox is default browser; Thunderbird is default mail, each has up-to date versions.
You do not show an anti virus program? Surely you have one?
Malwarebytes and Superantispyware only run when you set them to do so.
Spywareblaster is a TSR (terminate and stay resident) program.
Computer security is a personal choice, personally on my Windows 7 computer I only have Microsoft Security Essentials and on my Windows 8 just Windows Defender and I am comfortable. Both use the Windows firewall. That is NOT to suggest others should follow suit, it is just my choices while others will no doubt have varying opinions on good, better, best.
Sue, I have W 7 and I use MSE and the same spyware you use. I like Super aniti spyware because it picks up junk from my games the others don't. I don't think I need the others, it's just what I used before MSE came out.
Since MSE is a given, I skipped right over mentioning it. Yes, I have it.
WIN7 is interesting in that it is just different in it's own way.
Emma, speaking of games, 'way back I got hooked on Book Worm, and my DD and DS also and we competed against each other. I finally gave it up because it caused a problem with my shoulder. Now I only play Free Cell.
