Thanks for the info. But, is there any repurcussions from Microsoft as far as uninstalling their updates? Such as they wont send u any anymore etc. Thanks again.

That’s the problem Bruce I am not getting the words ” Patch Watch ” when I do that. I have used Patch Watch for 8 months now but the clicking on the Newsletter button no longer brings it up and the administrators have given no help so far. Thinking of registering again for the newsletter under a new email and see what happens maybe it will work maybe not and I’m out a few bucks unless they give me a rebate. I sent them an email asking if this might work and no reply.Thanks. Not trying to be rude.

Sorry, Bruce I use Firefox and that doesn’t have anything to do with how the button choices on the Newsletter work. They worked fine a week ago so I don’t need answers like ” mine works fine” lol

Thanks. I have never heard of that one until about 2 weeks ago reading the forum. Supprised I haven’t heard of it as much reading on web sites as I do but, it dies seem popular and looks like alot use it so, if I get ready to change or start looking that is one I wanted to look into.

Ok. Thanks Trev. I know that Kaspesky has a very good reputation almost everywhere u read on any website. I just heard of Avira and Bitdefender in the last couple days. Never heard of them and Eset also, but all 3 of those were in about 3 of the ” Top 10 ” lists I read.

Ok. Thanks. Like I said Best Buy is pushing Webroot now instead of Kaspersky years ago. So, what do I expect the Geek Squad to say that a Malwarebytes Program is in compatible with their Webroot when everything I read when doing the research even Independent Web Sites said it is compatible with all AV’s. I need to find out if my Online Remote Optimizations with Geek Squad are good with all Av’s. I would guess yes. Not everyone is going to have Webroot. As far as ” multiple apps” Ruirib I’m not that knowledgeable yet about that. I mean I wouldn’t have a clue as to more apps other than a AV or a Malwarebyte Program etc. I have to learn the hard way. Thanks.

Thanks for ur knowledge and opinion Ruirib. Like I said in my Post I have Best Buy Geek Squad protection for one year. I feel they are fantastic with their very, very quick support and response and also with their online remote session to do whatever is necessary for ur PC. They have a Malwarebytes Program they use during the Optimiszation every time. After I got my new PC with 8.1 I did do some research on Malwarbyte Programs that are out there and all said they are compatible with ur Anit-Virus program. I settled in with the actual Malwarebytes Program that is from the Company of the same name if that makes sense to u. I was still under their 30 or 60 day free trial period but had paid for it. Then I had an online Optimization done with Geek Squad. I was having some minor problems with the PC but right now don’t remember what it was. I told them I bought the Malwarbytes Program. The Senior Agent doing the Optimization said that it is not compatible with Webroot and I told him to uninstall it if that is true and he did. He didn’t really say that that was part of the problem I was having and continued his Optimazation. I called up Malwarebytes and got my money back no problem. So, to be honest I have no idea if that was true or just that Geek Squad is the same as Best Buy and they push Webroot just like they pushed Kaspersky years ago and he told me that and was lying to me???? Any comment on that?

Thanks Geek.

Ok Trev. I feel I am getting somewhere now. I have alot to learn about Av’s. Thanks for the link. If u have time to reply again what AV do u use and what would be the Top 3 u might recommend Trev. Thanks.

Thanks fun but, do u have anything to say about my Post? Simply, do u have an opinion on Webroot? Truth won’t hurt my feelings and what do u consider some good AV’s out there? Thanks.

Ok. Thanks for ur second reply Satrow. U understand and it looks like I need to research AV products on the Web, but I feel the best and true answers are really here as everyone else is out for themselves on the Web unless u feel u have a really Independent Site. Thanks.

Thanks Ruirib, but u are way beyond me in Knowledge. I really don’t know what u know. What is HIPS? If u wouldn’t mind replying again I am asking for opinions on AV programs and what u might consider as good even two or three of them and especially what u think of Webroot. Thanks.
