-====== Malware ====== 
- 
-The Computer Club web site has [[https://www.sctexas.org/club/scripts/memfac/memfac.asp?MFCODE=SIG_MAL#sidebar|pages]] that address malware. 
- 
-===== Malware attitude, today ===== 
- 
-The past couple of years, Windows Defender has been adequate as an anti-virus tool in the home environment. In the Help Center we do see client computers with other flavors of Anti-Virus and firewalls. Most of the time we encourage the removal not-free anti-virus or firewall tools. Why? We prefer free. Windows Defender is free and it works. 
- 
-However, you will see the Help Center use the free versions of Malwarebytes, CCleaner and Superantispyware to "disinfect" a computer. These tools can be helpful on an infrequent basis, but if they are enabled to run at system boot time, it is likely they will impact system boot performance.
