My system is frequently being infected. Is there anything else I can do? I am running Avast and I have windows firewall.

Surf and have good Internet habits.
Keep your antivirus updated, your firewall on.
I’ll add MBAM to scan your computer from time to time.

Add WinPatrol

WinPatrol’s Host-based Intrusion Prevention System(HIPS) takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge. WinPatrol was the pioneer in using a heuristic behavioral approach to detecting attacks and violations of your computing environment. It continues to be the most powerful system monitor for its small memory footprint.

The free version is good and the PLUS version provides additional information on running applications and Services.

If you get infected frequently, it’s possibly because of your browsing habits… :wink:
For more security use Firefox with the NoScript and AB+ addons.

I have installed the winpatrol. Do I have to do anything or does it automatically work.

I guess you have to wait for YoKenny to answer that… ;D 8)
Good luck and keep yourself protected…
