Is anti-virus software enough to protect your computer? I am a frequent internet user.?

I have Kaspersky antivirus installed on my new computer. However, is it enough to protect my computer. I do use internet alot and I want an efficient protection. I was thinking firewall, anti-malware, anti-spyware, e-mail protection. Basically, what all do I need to get???

Nope It Is Definitley not enough.

you do need a firewall and some anti- malware programs.

I've Listed The Name And Download Link To Make

Your Life Easier.

For Anti-Malware Protection, Use These 3 Anti-Spyware.

Windows Defender:

AVG Anti-Spyware:

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/downloads-pr...

Ad-Aware 2007:

http://www.download.com/3000-2144-100459...

Use All these 3 Since Not One Of These Can Remove Every Single Spyware. Use Windows Defender As It offers Real TIme Protection, And AVG ANd Ad-Aware As They Can Detect The Malware That Windows Defender has Missed.

Also Consider Installing A Firewall.

It helps Blocks Intruders Who Want To Access Your Computer.

Here's A Free One.

COMODO Firewall Pro:

i have SYMANTEC antivirus and it works good!!
Do in this order:

1. Reboot computer

2. Run anti-virus program to remove the virus.

3. Reboot computer again.

Should be good after that. Make sure that when you reboot the computer that you reboot it in safe mode.

Just my opinion. Hope this helps.

Does Avast anti virus give us realtime online virus support?

like if i downlaod something which contains a virus, will it tell me that this file contains a virus or will i have to scan it manually?

Does Avast anti virus give us realtime online virus support?malware

avast scans the file you are downloading. If avast detects the file you are downloading as a virus or adware, it will alert you and it will give you an option to "Abort Connection" to prevent downloading the harmful file. Sometimes the file still gets in your computer but avast detects it again and gives you options like "Delete" or "Move to Chest" which is the same thing as locking up the virus so it doesn't harm your computer.

Scans when downloaded, sets of warning if it's infected. ZIPS etc need manually scanned as well once decompressed

when u install it first, u have to do a manual scan, it can't tell u with out a scan whether there is a virus or not, after the scan, yes, then it will inform u when ever there is any virus attack

''ANTI''-virus software?!?

My laptop recently got screwed by a virus. now i'm trying to find the best antivirus software known today.

Could you kindly reccomend the best antivirus software that you know of and why you reccomend it?

Much tanks.

''ANTI''-virus software?!?mcaffee

Hands down the best is kaspersky you can download it free from their site, and then when the trial period runs out buy it on ebay cheep! Kaspersky will get and keep anything off! It's great!

''ANTI''-virus software?!?norton antivirus 2007

It all depends on your decision and software that you trust most. But personally I recommend AVG. I am using AVG Antivirus Free Edition. AVG updates daily and Email Scanner, Automatic Complete Scan (Time Setting by your decision) Allowing daily scan virus or trojans horse or worm will easy to pick up. AVG daily does option if daily scan does not start- when computer startsup AVG Scan will start automatic.

Good Judgement is key to prevent virus or trojan horse or worm coming in.

Autorun.inf, What is it?

Use some other software. Norton, Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Spybot, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html . You can also run a free registry scan using utilities from http://re7.info
Redownload a fresh copy and reinstall, previous copy probably corrupted. When antivirus corrupts, it may become a virus.
i do not trust AVG, get avast http://www.download-zone-free.com/avast/... see if it remove's the virus, if you do not want to download avast, try restarting your pc then go in safe mode, press F8 after restarting pc, then run the scan then see if it remove's your virus, if not try searching the location then delete it your self in safe mode

That is a great list! Looks like you did your research. On my computer I use all of those except the last two, but I'm currently researching them. As for the other programs, all of those programs have been rated highly by third-parties. The only suggested program I'd add to that is HiJackThis (another highly-rated program).

Why does my anti virus say 2 files were scaned when i only chose 1 file to scan?

When ever I download a picture from my email i scan it for viruses. there never was any virus detected in a picture but it sais that 2 files were scaned. i figured that the other file in the picture might run in the background when i open the picture like a trojan or something so i never open these files that say they are 2 files when i scan them. most pics i scan say "scaned 1 file" i dunno y it sais 2 for some. i just wanna know if those are viruses or trojans. thx.

I use Kaspersky internet security. i tried other antivirus programs and they didnt detect any viruses either but also say 2 files were scaned for the same files.

Why does my anti virus say 2 files were scaned when i only chose 1 file to scan?network security

It could possibly be a bug/fault with Kaspersky.

If you want to be pretty sure that the files are not malicious, then upload them to Virustotal, this will scan the file(s) using multiple antivirus engines and give you the results at the end.

You don't need to install anything. Just upload it to the website below.
