Actually, if you are running Windows 7, install the free Windows Security Essentials program for real-time protection plus the current free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to run about every 3-4 days. These two are very effective in keeping the most common malware out.

That was exactly what I was running last time, and I still got popped. I kept removing it, via malwarebytes, but then came that nasty root kit that even got through a daily malwarebyte scan.
This has been the issue on my last two PCs ran by MS. (Win 7 and 8.1).
Enough was enough, and I begrudgedly went to an Apple.

the licensed version of malwarebytes is excellent. that said i still run spybot and avira as well. different programs seem to catch different things better. lots of media sites have hacks and youvjust never know youre gonna hit a compromised page.
