AVG is not enough to protect your computer

Well, as some of us painfully discovered it,AVG is not the totally perfect shield. While waiting for better protection next year, you can (and should) install, in addition to AVG, Malwarebytes, which specializes in the category of malware that can make its way through AVG.
Malwarebytes has a free edition. You can download it here.
However, the free edition needs you to manually update it and manually run the scans. The update usually takes no more than one minute. The scanning takes less than 10 minutes and does not substantially slow down your computer. BUT, you must remember to do this every day for an effective protection. The $25 edition does everything autommatically, like AVG does, and you can install it on several computers.
