I was giving a general install of what works..Hijack This is nice but it is more for experienced users...so I generally would not suggest it unless I'm willing to be the one going through their logs lol
Spybot and Adaware are a bit outdated yes..but Spybot is still useful for its Immunization option and Hosts file...its actually a great product but doesn't update often :/..as for Adaware..I had a few instances where when installing on a friends pc malwarebyte missed it but Adaware found it..of course adaware failed to remove it though lol
The tools I gave including Norton is what I think is the best thing you can get for Free..since as I stated before you can get Norton free every year...so it is what I suggest to most people and use myself since it is convenient...on my work pcs and servers I use Nod32 because so far it does well for me.
With the tools I gave you can pretty much say the pc is as secure at it could be. Of course there is not much you can do if there is a user error :/...cause as the saying goes.."The best protection is a smart user"
Oh and btw I also read the AV-Comparatives ever since it came out...I found it after being dissatisfied with
Vb which gives everything 100% *sigh*
