Hi
miketan77, I am happy you were able to to re-install successfully.
As yigido mentioned, purchasing a license key would be necessary in order to include "real time" protection. This is an option, and depends mainly on your preference. Many members, including myself, choose to use Malwarebytes's free only as a secondary scanner used in addition to the real time protection you would receive from a large selection of anti-viruses such as the built versions included in many Windows systems. For Windows 7 SP 1, we've used Microsoft Security Essenials (MSE) which is light on your system and free. It also provides real time protection against viruses & spyware. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and (imho - in my humble opinon) you will have a far more excellent choice of quality Anti-viruses which provide the real time protection you need. Just search our many threads on the subject, or ask any of us. All of the opinions you may receive, when added together, might confuse
you at first because we have so many which differ, but you'll certainly receive some good advice regarless!
If you need a license for a quality free antivirus for at least six months you can send me a personal message too.
