KEEP the malewarebytes and add this antivirus above!

+1 to the above. Spybot search and destroy is another good one to add in as well. If you are really concerned, grab a free firewall program like zonealarm. I personally like pc tools firewall plus. You can teach it what programs to allow and what to block.

Here is a free firewall to complete your security suite!

Does malwarebytes prevent hackers ? No

1. Install just one anti virus.
2. Download windows security updates.
3. Turn on windows firewall.
4. Never log on as an Administrator.
5. Regularly scan your computer with an antivirus.

What do u mean by " Never log on as an Administrator "...,i am the only user so i think automatically i am the administrator !

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

logging on as admin doesn't hurt anything!

He means create another User account (with limited privileges) for surfing the web so when you do get attacked your system is safe from being altered with admin privileges.
In other words damage control.
