    what else do i need?
    « on: January 24, 2012, 06:50:08 PM »
    i have ESET NOD 32 (subscription) and ccleaner (the free one).    i had xoft spy SE for a long time but i have let my subscription lapse.   is that something i need still, or do i have enough security coverage?    i run the ccleaner about twice a week and the ESET about every 2 weeks.  i use this machine as a toy....games mostly and e-mails occasionally.   what do you recommend for me?

    ccleaner has nothing to do with system security.

    You need a good AV (NOD is fine I guess) and either MalwaerBytes or SuperAntiSpyware (or both - the free versions). I also use SpywareBlaster. And of course the most important facet of security is smart computing (don't open links or attachments in emails unless you are certain you know what they are, don't download anything unless you are 100% certain it is safe, etc).
