I want to download a virus protection program on my windows vista laptop. Anyone have any good sucess with one type of anti-virus program that they would like to recomend? This would be much appreciated. I am currently running Microsofts Windows Defender, but want added virus and spyware protection.
Thanks…

im running windows vista ultimate edition… i already installed avira antivir security suite and just installed boclean anti malware…is it ok for my system? does having multiple security programs harm my pc?

or can anyone help me choose a better program including
*anti virus
*anti malware
*firewall
and if possible help me find a
*registry cleaner
*system optimization program

i already have tweak vista but i dont seem to be contented by it…

thanks!

I formerly had PC Tools' Spyware Doctor and Registry Mechanic, but the license has expired on those two and they no longer offer a discount price for getting both programs.

Can you steer me towards something equally good that I should look into getting? I'm looking for protection from spyware, malware, etc.

I'm not locked into getting a Registry cleaner, but would like to.

BTW, I use AVG's updated free version, so I feel I'm covered on the anti-virus front.

Any useful suggestions very much appreciated. Thanks.

My PC is slow at startup, is it good to run a registry cleaner? I thought I heard they were bad to run. Also, all my anti-virus stuff, spyware, degrag…etc is all ok…it is something outside of that.

Thanks in advance!

My computer will freeze up when I try to install certain software programs. I havent figured out the pattern yet because certain OTHER programs will work just fine!? It will even freeze my computer when I try to install utility programs to run diagnostics on my computer and 3 different anti-virus programs come up zilch. Can SOMEBODY help me!? lol
