OK I'm going to try again,maybe I wasn't clear.I want to prevent bad stuff from being installed.I have Norton,TrendMicro,and Norton isn't up to the task I have all sorts of programs to fix/delete/remove after it's installed.Norton doesn't seem to be up to the task.I want realtime protection that will prevent malware from being installed.Norton has proven time & time again it's not able to do that.

I use a program called Spybot - Search & Destroy. It is a free program that you can download from www.download.com and is highly rated by those who have tried it. This software has the ability to stop spyware/malware in realtime. Once you install the software, follow the instructions to download all the updates, then continue on with immunizing your computer, then run a full system scan.

Personally I use Spybot-SD Tea Timer as "realtime protection" its also free. But beware that there are alot of imitations out there that have a similar name but are filled with spyware and other crap...The website to down the official Spybot with no BS attatched is

The Tea Timer program is an add-on that comes free with Spybot-SD...So make sure to check the box saying you want to install it otherwise no "realtime protection." = )

No one program will catch themall. even 5 or 6 different programs will miss a really well made piece of malware. I suggest getting adaware and spybot:search an destroy.

Run them often. Your computer will never been able to stop everything from getting to it, but you can limit how much does get in and then also kill them once they do get in.

Avast is the best, it has "on Access" protection which is GREAT, I recommend it to everyone I meet...it's free for life!!! you just have to register (with a LEGIT email (it can be a free one) ) they don't send you spam, or anything for that matter...it's the best I have found...when you first install it it will ask if you want to schedule a boot time scan...DO IT...see how many viruses/adware/spyware your other programs missed :D :D

There's no single app that can caught all malwares in real times but you can install more than one apps and they will catch them all. Try these apps:
