Americancritic,
Thank's for your suggestion, but malwarebytes was downloaded by post no.11

hi,
As you download a fair amount of the Internet, just a few tips and suggestions, odd article, for you, with the security stuff you've downloaded.

10 Tips on How to Properly Maintain Your Computer

Steps that I did not notice on the guide include:

Running a scan disc before doing a defrag

Using Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes.

Making System Restore points, at least once a week

Making a system Image once a month (varies by user)

Not relying on your A/V common sense, should prevail. You know of many sites can cause a problem.

Do not use any reg cleaning or optimizing software.

Download and use Ccleaner about once every two months. Untick any registry entries.
Download CCleaner 3.04.1389 - FileHippo.com freeware
Ccleaner will free a lot of space by cleaning temp. files & old files, internet files .

If you follow these instructions, you will be trouble free for a long time to come.

Be sure to back up your hard drive about once a month (varies by user) and to keep system restore points up to date.

How often you use them is up to the individual user. I
Scan with malwarebytes once every week.
eset online - scanner, the same.
supermalwarebytes once every week, as I use internet a lot.

These together with Microsoft Security Essentials should be an excellent barrier to ward off the enemy.

I scan my computer daily

I usually scan mine once every 2-3 days, or at least once every week if I can't manage that.

Hello just like ilikefree I scan my computer every day, a full AV to make sure my system is not infected. I learned by trial and error.
