Forget about the stupid anti virus software.

Well, you need to watch and I recommend all three. Today I looked into a virus that was sent out on my friends Facebook. It as a trojan and it also redirected any links on her Facebook page to a porn site. Needless to say she did not want to send links to porn sites. At any rate, I clicked the link and ESET AV caught the virus and Windows Defender also recognized the threat. Malewarebytes did not but I did use Malewarebytes to remove the offender. I recommend all three for good protection. As a side note, my Norton AV on my daughters computer caught the virus and shut it out. Avast on my Vista machine caught the virus and shut it out. Avast is free and is not intrusive at all. It updates at sign in and sits quietly until needed.
