    Re: Windows 8 Antivirus Question

    Drew,

    Will follow your advice. Thank you. I also appreciate the shortcuts guide. Even in a few days of using Windows 8, I am getting the hang of it. By creating charms for common functions like files, control panel, system prompt, desktop etc, I managed to provide a bridge between Windows 7 and 8. These shortcuts will make it even easier. I cannot remember ever using the Windows key before - now it is more than decoration

    Regards,

    Paulette

    Years ago I used Avast & recommended it to clients. But, with what is native to Windows 8, just go with that.

    Cheers,
    Drew

    Hi,

    try running the default defender coupled with Malwarebytes. It's free and runs alongside Defender just fine:

    Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware download

    Re: Windows 8 Antivirus Question

    IF, this is in regard to Windows 8, I recommend the FREE A-V/A-M that is built into the OS called Windows Defender. It is ON, by default, from the moment the OS is powered.

    IF, this is not in regard to Windows 8, I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE)

    NB: Windows Defender is MSE.

    In addition to the above running Malwarebytes wkly is strongly recommended

    Cheers,
    Drew

    Oh & Paulette, all those things you mention for which you are making shortcuts... there is no need as they are all, already, on the menu you will find w/a Rt Clk @ the Bottom-left Corner of the Desktop.

    Cheers,
    Drew
