Title: running avast with windows defender
Post by: leonsoulant on September 22, 2010, 10:46:35 PM

My OS is Windows 7 and I run AVAST 5 free (all shields on) and Windows Defender in real time (all options on).Everything looks terrific and secure,but should I keep going so? :)

Yes.

Keep Windows Defender updated through its portal:
Latest definition version: 1.91.362.0

Maybe you need a firewall, a secure(d) browser and a second-opinion with MBAM scanning :)
