    My one-year Kaspersky is about to expire. Any recommendations on renewing this or is there a better one (available here)? Thanks

    I am on Avast this year and have been happy after some McAfee problems, Free version is good and the paid version has a few more additions, worth a try nothing complicated at all with this AV

    AVG or Avast as anti virus, then Malwarebytes to tackle all your malicious spyware which does not get detected by anti virus software and then lastly ATF cleaner or CC cleaner to empty your temp folder, etc.

    I also use MSE + Malwarebytes.....never any problems. Also give Do Not Track (Albine.com)a try, blocks all tracking and its FREE also.

    Thanks for the tip, I downloaded Malwarebytes, seems to be working good.

    Opo..two different types of software. Malwarebytes is for spyware and Do Not Track....is to prevent tracking from most if not all websites. Example of Do Not Track
