Computer Virus

A couple years ago I came to the realization that Antivirus software is not something that I needed. As long as you don't open email attachments from people you don't know and don't download programs from unknown sources I think you should be OK. I've been clean and sober for 2 years.

Malwarebytes and AVG AV is what I use.

Malwarebytes is awesome. It was recommended by our IT guys when my mom's system slowed to a crawl. It found 75 problems. Once I ran it and followed the instructions it started running just fine. I use the free version, and just scan it once a week.

I wish I could use AVG, but the company requires that I run McAfee and I hate it.
