I am running AVG Antivirus Free on my PC, is it good, and what else an i run to protect my pc?

I have Windows 7 64bit – Running AVG Free edition. I just downloaded Spybot Search and Destroy. I have not installed it yet, but I was wondering what other programs can i run that won’t take up a lot of resources and will protect my PC from malicious websites and malware. I have used Spybot and Adaware, but what are your opinions?

Chosen Answer:

I would look into and add both Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware and SUPERAntispyware. these two along with AVG are all you’ll need. I personally would pass on Spybot Search and Destroy since you haven’t installed it yet. I heard it’s outdated and doesn’t really help with Microsoft’s new operating systems. It was better with the older ones.

    Stay with your AVG protection and update it regularly. Refrain from installing software with the same function.

    no! go to Best Buy and buy Webroot, or Kaspersky.
