Default Over Protection, no such thing.

If you are serious about protecting your computer, and in my case, protecting my family's finances as well then there can be no such thing as over protection.

I have an army of both paid for and free protection software on my PC and that is to protect my computer from any and all malware that a miscreant (or a whole host of miscreants) can place on my machine.

I have been infected with spyware, adware, keylogger, viruses, java viruses, spyware with virus like names, unwanted cookies and other assorted small applications (planted by the PC manufacturer), etc.

But in every case I have had the protective application to find and get rid of these pieces of junk and if they fail I have my eyes and a reasonable amount of common sense to keep my machine clean.

I just want to point out that when you say:
Quote:
it never said i had a virus when i did
There is no software, be it anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc., that can and will offer 100% protection so knowing this I have an army of protectors rather than depending on one or two items alone.

I have the following running on my PC:

Norton Anti-Virus 2005
Norton Personal Firewall 2005
Ewido
Ad-Aware SE
SpyBot
Spyware Blaster
Prevx1
BHODemon

Plus several others that I cannot remember at the moment as well as several maintenance utilities.

So you see, I am protected to the hilt and I am still on the look out for more.
