Thanks for the replies. I've been doing a pile of research, and made a few moves before I saw the posts.
Baseline: Win 7, Chrome, Malwarebytes PRO.
Had a free McAfee from att, but I never trusted it so it's gone. Yesterday I added these:
- Microsoft Security Essentials
- Comodo Firewall
- Spybot Search & Destroy
- SuperAntiSpyware
I was told that it's good to run 3-4 anti-malware. Mal. Pro has ongoing protection. BUT now I'm re-thinking it all. What about Comodo Internet Security + Dragon Browser + NoScript? I understand Chrome's attempt to clone NoScript is a piece of garbage. I'm thinking fewer programs is always better.
OK there you have it. Upgrades, overkill, second guessing, and frustration.
All opinions are welcomed!
