Hi Don,
I often add Zone Alarm free as well to computers I fix up.
On my own I use/trust the Eset Security Suite.
I bought the 3 computer 3 year licence 2 years ago and
have never had an infection.
It will not allow a download of anything is suspects is
malicious.
The other day there was a free download of Nero 9
I could not complete the download as it had the
Ask Toobar Trojan bundled with it.
This computer my Vista Home Pro made for me by
www.ncix.ca has Windows Defender on it but it
has never done anything other than asking if I wish to
notify MS of a trusted application install.
I have been recommending Avira formerly H&Bev antivir
for around 8 years it is one of the best AV programs
I have found.
Cheers
Mike the mod

Your idea sounds better. I'm thinking clean install, security software
install, update. Install ATI and other software (including portable
software) and update it all. Configure software as desired for email,
internet etc. Run a last update on Windows and Security software.
Create a Bootable ATI USB drive using BartPE. Use ATI to create an
image and store it on the same USB drive. I would also include various
install files or portable versions of maintenance and diagnostic
software I did want to put in the image.
Mine method might take a 16GB thumbdrive but I have four of them laying
around doing nothing right now. I might also use EasyBCD to create a
backup of the MBR and keep it on the drive also.
Have you found AviraAV and MalWareBytes to be adequate protection? Do
you also use Windows Defender or other stuff also?
Don
