What Are You Suggestions And Recommendations On How You Would Approach This Concept Where A User Would Routinely Run Another Reputable Brand(s) Of Security Programs To One's Normal Usage?
Hello. I have a question to ask. This is applicable to my Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
I typically use, like most of us for our Windows operating system, an Internet software security suite program for my computer that is it is inclusive to an anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall, and an arsenal of many additional component laden feature functions to the software program as well. As users, many of us get affixed to a particular brand or company manufacturer's prospective Internet software security suite program or a consistent mix of various computer software security products (specific to anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall) to protect our computer. I have often wondered staying too long with the same particular security program products may not be a good idea since continual usage of the same prescribed set of security programs over a long period of time may allow for 'unique undetected' malware to inhibit a user's system due to SAME relative measure of a security program's product programming methodology and process by means to scan, detect, and block malware WITHOUT the diversity of a variety of DIFFERENT security program products.
Therefore I find it a very good idea to routinely run ANOTHER reputable BRAND of prescribed set of security programs to one's normal usage.
Question:
What are you suggestions and recommendations on how you would approach this concept where a user would routinely run ANOTHER reputable brand(s) of security programs to one's normal usage? Please explain.
Please reply.
Thank you!

I agree with tzucker. A careless user can infect a system no matter how good your protection is. I use the basic NOD32 and Window's built in firewall and have very few problems with any of my clients.

@ esskayb2d, joelsplace, tzucker, younghv, & ve3ofa:
Hello. Nice to meet esskayb2d, joelsplace, tzucker, and younghv! Nice to see ve3ofa again.
Thank you all for your comments.
First, I must say that is question/thread is a subjective with elements of objectivity laced in your responses. I am less concerned with the products for a particular brand or company manufacturer's prospective Internet software security suite program or a consistent mix of various computer software security products in your comments; yet I do appreciate you providing them in your comments. I am more interested in the 'variety' and 'methods' you 'routinely do' -- that is what I am seeking here and there is no right or wrong answer for this question/thread. Therefore, it is like a general survey question of sorts on your methods of system protection(s).
Being objective and observing all expert comments' system security methods, I can say that joelsplace's first comment is the only one who commented that would take reactive when a security issue problem developed. Everyone else and in a later expert comment by joelsplace , besides esskayb2d, has complete confidence in their prospective particular brand or company manufacturer's prospective Internet software security suite program or a consistent mix of various computer software security products. esskayb2d has complete confidence in the Windows 7 operating system.
Basically out of 5 different expert comments' system security methods, 3 experts reply on their complete particular brand or company manufacturer's prospective Internet software security suite program or a consistent mix of various computer software security products. As I have said, 1 would be reactive when a security issue problem developed, and 1 has faith in the Windows 7 system. Therefore, my majority, experts have faith in each of their own system security installations and setups and do not periodically modify their own setup system security operations. That is what I learned here. Thank you.
Since it is a subjective based question, everyone wins. I do have to award that one Accepted Solution, therefore, younghv's comment with his own EE weblink linking me to a well written online article addressing 'ALL' measures and most informative to lessen any risk of infection or malware issues will be the Accepted Solution. I see joelsplace commented twice and because I am evaluating PER EXPERT's system security methods, I will omit joelsplace second comment for fairness. Therefore 5 different experts each with a comment will get 100 points equally.
Again, thank you all!
