In my opinion , if your WIndows is up-to-date and if you have just a little common sense , Norton can provide you 100% protection

NO AV Software is 100%, Even Security Software Companies won't state that.  No review or independent tests will state that either.

Also in the past people have got infected from sites like the NYTimes site ad (drive-by??) that downloaded a Rogue that was not detected.

You obviously don't understand what I try to say.

Norton has so many security feautures - all-in-protection against all kind of threats , regular updates , behavioural analyzer, Insight , firewall , etc . So Norton + up-to-date operating system and applications + common sense gives practically 100% protection .

Perhaps you understand that if Norton can provide very high level of protection (but still not 100.00% ) , the updated/patched OS and the common sense complement this very high level of protection to extremely high level , which is practially 100%. OK ?

What other programs are suggested for use to completely feel a PC is protected and not infected?  I believe I may have been infected by something on Facebook and have been having problems with my online banking.  I do not have the problem on my laptop and do not use it for social networking.

Hi elbass

Which Norton product are  you currently using and what version number please? Please do not attempt anything where you need a completely clean computer such as banking or buying something with a credit card until you do get your computer checked out.

I used to think Norton 360 gives complete protection until one day my computer wasn't acting normally I did a full scan with norton and it said it found nothing. I had to call hp support and they told me to download the malwarebytes program I did a scan and it found about six trojan agents. So now I have both full version products now on my pc to hopeful decrease my chances of my computer acting up again. I also did a little research and people are saying that programs like defence wall hips protection work really well against malware and viruses because it stops them from running and quarantines them in its sandbox. I would have gotten that instead but I am still satisfied by norton.

Hi win7ultimate,

It is not a good idea to have two real time security products installed at the same time. They can and typically do interefere with each other at some point. Both will try to remove threats and both will fight each other over. Both will see the other as an enemy so to speak.

My suggestion would be to periodically run a scan with the FREE version of MalwareBytes which does not cause interference since it is an on demand scanner and not a real time product.

People have to realize, no Security program is 100% and If there were it won't be for long, Malware Creators would find a way around it. That is why on Message boards you find people infected, stating  I have Norton, Avast, McAfee, AVG, BitDefender, Kaspersky, .........................................

It's like you could have the safest car, or vehicle, in the world, but you are still able to crash it or get a fault when driving along.

@AllenM I thought you can have both running at the same time. I will take your post into conderation and un install the malwarebytes program and only re download it if I need to use it.

Hi win7ultimate,

There are two versions of MalwareBytes, one is FREE and the other is the PAID version. If you have the paid version, you now have a real time security version and this is what can cause a problem because you now have two real time security programs installed at the same time.

You should uninstall the PAID version of MalwareBytes and install the FREE version. The free version is OK because it is an on-demand scanner and will not interfere with your other anti-virus software. You can use the free version to do periodic scans if you wish.

Hope this clarifies.

Thanks

Hi win7ultimate

Please remember when you use the FREE version of Malwarebytes, to update it before each use of it because the program gets updates quite often.

[win7ultimate]

Well guys, I asked the people at malwarebytes if I can use the full version along with the norton 360 and they said yes. So you can use both free and paid and I was also instructed to exclude malwarebytes in norton's exclude list. I am also very happy to see people who are actually interested in helping me, trust me I appreciate it. Than You!
