Or, let's say you only want to back-up certain files within My Docs (like some pics?), that's fine too, so you could choose a file and right click on it to see its properties/size.

| Yes, I'm very happy to know of the Spybot thing now since our computer was always seeming to run slow. The computer guy told me to run it at least once a week because no, it's not automatic. I guess we've gotten pretty lucky so far. We bought our first computer over 15 years ago and it died about 5 years ago. Then my husband's uncle who works for a large "to be un-named" company got us a used computer from there that they were planning to trash. Of course they wiped everything off first. Well, that's the one we're still using now. The monitor is old and clunky but a pretty nice size. To plug in stuff to the CPU you have to pull it out and plug it into the back of it.... that's the archaeic thing I hate the most. But for now, it gets the job done! It's really only for recreational use.

The Resident Shield component gives your computer continuous protection. It scans every single file that is being opened, saved, or copied, and guards the system areas of the computer. When Resident Shield discovers a virus in a file that is accessed, it stops the operation currently being performed and does not allow the virus to activate itself. Normally, you do not even notice the process, as it runs “in the background”, and you only get notified when threats are found; at the same time,Resident Shield blocks activation of the threat and removes it. Resident Shield is being loaded in the memory of your computer during system startup. Read more: Virus Protection With Free AVG 9.0

| I have AVG...it runs continuously. When you first download it, its set to run everyday unless you change the setting. When its suspects a page with risks on it...it wont even open. I think its run basically the same as AVAST. Years ago i had Norton. It came with my computer that i had ordered. Then when it came time to renew it. It wiped out my computer entire harddrive. The funny thing is the EXACT same thing happened to my neighbor.

| You should NOT be using AVAST and AVG together. I've learned that using 2 antivirus programs together is useless and slows down your computer and will most likely cause more problems than will help. Pick one (they both run continually)and run it with Spybot about once per week. Or you can try Nortons as well. I too have had an issue with Nortons though.

So having the malwarebytes along with either Avast or AVG plus Spybot... is that okay?

| Thanks. I'll wait and see if she sees this. I thought V. said she uses both but I can't remember.

| Great, thanks! That's what I was thinking.... Avast and AVG are virus programs but spybot and malware are different kinds from those. I'm learning!
