-====== Malware ====== 
- 
-Good and useful information about [[https://www.sctexas.org/club/scripts/memfac/memfac.asp?MFCODE=SIG_MAL#sidebar|Malware]] is on the [[https://www.sctexas.org/club/scripts/memfac/memfac.asp?MFCODE=CCLUB_COMPUTER#sidebar|Computer Club web site]]. A bit of searching on the internet for Malware is likely to provide days of reading. This site: [[https://www.av-test.org/en/|AV-Test.org]] does good work. My opinion of av-test.org results… There are plenty of good choices for AntiVirus, including free options. This item about about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjfKZeKRpSI&t=192s|Avast vs Microsoft defender]] is "interesting".

-===== 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. 
- 
-The Help Center does use free versions of Malwarebytes, CCleaner and Superantispyware to "disinfect" a computer. These tools can be helpful on an infrequent basis. If these tools are enabled to run at system boot time, it is likely they will impact system boot performance.
