MBAM specialises in finding types of malware that usual virus scanners easily miss. It is designed to run parallel to an virus scanner (usually the advise is to not have two virus scannewr running, they could interfere with each oither), but with MBAM you shozuld not have problems, its made with that iouble use of two scanners on mind.

The difference between payware and freeware versions of security suites is that payware not only offers more features, some of which may just about comfortablity, but others can also add vital security-relevant features, but that the payware versions often alowo constant system surveillance in the background, while the free versions only allow active HD scanning that you do in frequent intervals - your online activity in a givenmoment must not necessarily be secured by them, and that is a big risk. You want that always-on guard feature in the background, you want it, really.

I strictly recommend the payware version of MBAM, it has rang more alarms ovewr the years trhan my antivir and firewall, and you get for a decent fee a lifetime license, so you pay only once, not yearly. Also, get a payware security suite. MBAM payware version since years I consider to be a must-have. Its my most proven security guard in active service, since years.

AV institute is an organization that exmines the effectvieness of the solutions on the market ong roudns of longterm observations, they ratre not only tests results that are a snapshot in time, but also examine how a given suite has been performing over the past 2-4 months in the wild. They sit in Germany and are not associated with and not paid by any software producing company - as to my best knowledge they are indeed independent. Check wioth their latest lists if still needing to buy a suite.

They are the ones who one year ago rang an alarm bell over the detoriating status of security on LKinux systems and that the security suites for Linux available so far are giving lisy performance only.

I randomly found today that this month the apparently first tablet with a factory-installed Linux Ubuntu distribution is hitting the market, at least her ein Germany, it is a middle-class tablet, a BQ Aquaris M10 . Alsom there is said Ubunto distriubvituon available for being used on tablets, so a dedicated tablet Linux. I did not know that. I wonder how the driver situation is. If Linux has one weakness that occassionally can show up, its the drivers for hardware, it seems. Maybe not a big issue with a tablet, since the hardware connected to a tablet is limited.
