AVG Internet Security, TuneUp Utilities, MalwareBytes and Cleanup! are the 4 applications I use to keep everything humming along nicely :) Cheers, Martin. Hi Kwin,

Here’s my daily/weekly routine:

  • After each session, before closing my browser, I run TuneUp utilities to keep my registry optimised
  • Every evening at 11:00 pm my AVG scheduled scan runs and then automaitcally closes down the PC when it’s finished
  • Every Saturday morning I run CleanUp! and Malware Bytes and do a full check with TuneUp Utilities

That’s about it really. AVG Internet Security, TuneUp Utilities, MalwareBytes and Cleanup! are the 4 applications I use to keep everything humming along nicely :)

Cheers,

Martin.

It's too bad that we have to be on the defense everywhere we go. I have AVG the free version but did not know you can have another program. A small checklist of things to do weekly for pc health and security would be appreciated. kwin Thank you Martin for this. It’s too bad that we have to be on the defense everywhere we go.

But bear in mind that it's only part of my protection. I have AVG Internet Security as my primary protection and that's constantly monitoring everything, has scheduled scans and updates etc. Then I also use Cleanup! and Malwarebytes. Under normal circumstances I run these two once a week as part of my weekly PC maintenance, but if anything unusual happens (meaning if AVG spots something) I sort it out and then do an additional Malwarebytes scan. Cheers, Martin. Keith hi,

I'm with you 1 million percent. Destroying people's business (and, therefore, livelihoods) is not something to be proud of. At all. Sorry to hear you got hacked but I hope you were able to get back up and running quickly. Come back even stronger and better than before! Cheers, Martin. Hi Karin,

c) waste opportunities for us (and others who were effected) to gain prospects etc?

Can’t see the joy in that. What’t theri reward? A big sheer from his/her fellow-hackers: you’re so great, so knowledgeable to disrupt all these websites.
