Hi Drazick,
Wyrmrider is right here, we are now in the phase of layered av-protection. That means that to get to all the malware that is around one resident av solution and a firewall is not sufficient anymore. We need additional programs like programs that can run next to one resident av solution (you cannot have two because of real problems of interference). But a non resident scanner (always updated to the last version and update) like DrWebCureIt, Stinger.exe, MBAM, SAS are the right cocktail to close the vulnerability gap. Other measures you can take to lessen the risk of getting reinfected is if connected to the Internet go there with normal user rights (malware can do far less harm that way to your system or registry), update all the critical software and patches for your OS (OS, browser, Java, Flash, etc. etc.). Security has not to do with being a geek, but is more about a continuous security attitude, welcome to the forums, and do what wyrmrider instructs you to do,
