Each of these different scanners were good at removing one type of thing, but those days are mostly passed.
Used to use Adaware to remove ad programs. AV was good at detecting virus but not much else. In the olden days I remember needing several different types of scanners. So it's better to have Malwarebytes and Norton simultaneously (just don't run scans simultaneously, that can cause problems with them being able to correctly detect viruses and malware). There is no single antivirus/antimalware that can catch everything. I prefer ESET Smart Security over Norton, but it is kind of expensive compared to other options.īasically, just because an antivirus claims to be able to catch all viruses and malware, it's not true. What Norton doesn't catch, odds are, Malwarebytes will. Norton might be able to catch some malware, but it's always better to have 2 or more security programs installed. Since you already have Norton installed, keep that and if it isn't out of your price range, buy Malwarebytes Premium too. Any insight that anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated. My question is - what do I really need as Norton claims to detect malware as well as viruses? For those of us who are not really that technically literate, this presents a problem as to exactly what we do need. They suggested I install it and use from now on. I had a small problem and took it to my local "fix-it" shop and they said there was a "virus" and they were running Malwarebytes on my desk top. I have Norton/Symantec and have had it for years and have had no problems.
