Just ran BitDefender against my trusted "Good" Win-7 system image for my
24-7 box. (restored for the purpose) and it came up with 7 instances of
malware.

I have been running Avast on this system since Day-1.


"OK, let's try it on my ZenBook laptop....".

OOPS!... 67 "Infected Items" and 1 "Suspected Items".

Same deal: Avast since Day-1.

Should have run MalWareBytes, but did not think of it at the time and
now the Bad Guys have been removed.

What are the chances of these two results being correct?

If good, then it sounds like an anti-virus with realtime web and email
scanning enabled still is not sufficient..... (??)

If that's the case, what do Those Who Know do?

MalwareBytes on some sort of schedule?

Boot to BitDefender on some sort of schedule?

Something else?


I'm thinking booting to BitDefender is too much of a time sink for me to
keep it up on a longterm basis, OTOH if it's the only game in town.....
