Yes good points about Malware. Its timely that you refer to the subject of Malware, there's a chap who writes reviews for Windows and associated products in our local Newspaper, he's been saying for quite some time that most security suites around today are not capable of dealing with Malware on their own, thus he's been recommending an Application called Malware Bytes, I think the people who develop Vipre Internet Security etc are also recommending the Malware Bytes utilities.
Anyway back to the point, the Malware Bytes Suite is only $29.00 for the full copy and a free version is available, the difference? Well the full copy works in the background, that is to say it examines and runs suspicious code and acts accordingly, in other words Malware Bytes does its thing and only "Alerts" you when your attention or assistance is required to clean or remove an object and - if the full application is running - its highly likely that your attention will ever be sought <smile>. , On 08/10/2013, at 2:47 AM, Gordon Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > Personally, I have never trusted Microsoft in the area of security.
