    Protect it from what? I don't download anything that contains malware.

    In fact I rarely download anything new. And when I do, it's something I buy from a reputable and credible company. And on occasion, I have downloaded something from softpedia, and then I will upload it to virustotal before I install it. But I think softpedia are rather trustworthy.

    So I don't use an AV, no need, and never been infected.

    You should be looking at prevention before the cure. If you are infected with a keylogger to begin with, then you need to reevaluate your whole internet behavior and raise your education in how to prevent being infected in the first place.

    My banks that I use all have virtual keyboards that changes everytime you log in, making keyloggers useless anyway. What kind of bank do you use that don't use virtual keyboards? I would change banks if I were you.

    In addition, if my bank's website was hacked and redirected, I am fully covered for all loss if I was a victim.

    Curious. According to your Wilders posts you have run the following at some point during 2010:

    - Malwarebytes
    - A-squared
    - Avira
    - Nod32
    - Avast
    - Norton

    Hopefully that puts this little detour to an end. My favourite - it has to be Sandboxie :)

    Well free is a plus. I dont normally run into malware, but it runs light, completes scans quickly, and is compatible with PrevX SOL facebook giveaway. I do alot of online gaming and the cloud doesnt get in the way of ping so its very minimal which is also another plus.

    It's pretty cool having MBAMPro1.46 all loaded up and running fine,
    being very satisfied with the program,
    and all I'm reading about is how sweet v1.50 is in beta...
    Like the song says, "Things are going great, and they're only getting better". :cool:

    Yes, I was one of the early birds to use the Internet. When I first started it cost me $18 per hour to use the Internet.

    I have tried many applications out of interest and curiosity, but I never have them installed and resident on my system. Total waste of time...never been infected in 20 years and never will be because prevention is better than a cure and my system has preventive measures setup making it impossible for malware/virus to be downloaded and installed.

    Common sense told me to stop javascript, activex, Java etc from being able to be executed. Common sense is the best security app you can use.
