I have Malwarebyte and ccleaner. Also Reg-vac and Avira. Is it necessary to have anything but the Malwarebyte and ccleaner to protect my pc?

carl,

Malware will protect your computer from malicious attacks, while ccleaner cleans out the registry and other bits and pieces left after removing programs.

ccleaner doesn't protect you from anything, it's as the name implies, a cleaner.

The Avira you have is your anti-virus program, which you should use along with Malware.

The Regvac you have is another cleaner, so you can choose which registry cleaner you prefer to use. I've not used Regvac, so I don't know if it's better, or worse, than ccleaner.


If something gets your goat, it just proves you have a goat to get.

What Homer6 said... You must have an anti-virus program in addition to Malwarebytes and CCleaner. You are currently using Avira. If you choose to continue to use Avira, make sure it is constantly kept updated and that you run a full scan with it regularly.

Thanks Homer and Draclvr, I appreciate your answering. I will do away with RegVac as I don't need it.
