It sparked my interest due to the first general statement:

"Quite often, I'm asked if it's a good idea to use more than one anti-virus / anti-spyware program at the same time.

The answer to this question is both "yes" and "no."

Yes: it's a good idea to scan your PC using more than one solution -- whether it's anti-virus or anti-spyware -- as it's possible to sniff out additional, missed threats.

No: you shouldn't run more than one anti-virus or anti-spyware program at the exact same time as they would likely conflict...."

Read (and download the free IOBIT Security 360) in full here!

Uh oh ... Too good to be true?

This app is in litigation at the moment:

Malwarebytes: IObit Stole Our SignaturesDatabase!

Hold on tight gals/guys!

With vista, I was using AVG free ver. Then I switched to Win 7 and started having trouble with AVG, so I switched to Avast. That worked well. I have since switched to MSE. I love it. It integrates well with the OS and is not a resource hog. I periodically scan with Malwarebytes too.
