Hi.
I wanna ask is that this version protects our PCs being harmed from malware,spyware, and attacks(ip)?
Is there a need to download some other softwares to protect my PC?
(like firewall, spyware doctor…etc.)

Thanks very much.

I would definitely suggest a multilayered approach (clickable names)

Anti-virus - Avast
Anti-Spyware - SuperAntispyware
SpywareBlaster

Installing bout SUPERANTISPYWARE & Spyware Blaster?

Whilst avast does detect a number of adware and spyware infections, it isn’t a specialist anti-spyware/adware program, so a specialist tool will improve overall detection rate and give a multi-layer/application approach to security as essexboy mentions.

Some others:

  1. If using winXP AVG anti-spyware (formerly Ewido) Resident scanner during trial On-Demand after trial ends. Or Spyware Terminator Resident scanner.
    Care should be taken not to have two resident anti-spyware products installed at the same time, the free version of SAS provides on-demand protection so avg-as and or Spyware Terminator could be installed with it.
  2. Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition
  3. Spybot Search and Destroy

All of the above work with avast.
