Hello! The title gives a clear idea, so I ended up canceling my Kapresky subscription and testing Malwarebytes instead. I was confused because I thought malware and viruses were the same, but Windows seems to treat them differently—it keeps asking me to download an antivirus. My main question is whether I really need another program alongside Malwarebytes. Thanks!
Malwarebytes plus Microsoft Security Essentials should do the job. I haven’t used any antivirus in the last two years, and my PC scan a few days back showed no viruses. Be aware I often download a lot of random files.
I faced many challenges cleaning a computer overloaded with viruses and malware. I tested four malware programs but couldn't eliminate the last stubborn one. After using an anti-virus, it finally disappeared. Now I’m using Malwarebytes Pro along with Norton Internet Security 2014, which they integrate perfectly.
