Malaware-antibytes software verdict????

[AWS]

Hi Gang,

This is a follow up to a previous post concerning potential clashes between Essentials &amp all other free or paid protection software. I wasnt sure if I was supposed to post this below the last entry of my initial post inquiry so apologies if I'm costing valuable time,

and effort.

That being said, I bought a re-furbished HP desktop p6320y w/a MSI ll 785GSM mainbrd. running 8Gs of ram, upgradable to 16Gs max, a AMD Phenom quad 2.8Ghz w/ovr.clk. ability, a new 2TB hitachi SATA 7200 rpm, a fresh version of W/7 w/SP1 &amp Essentials

everything up to date. I followed the most consistent instructions recv'd from most of you &amp all seemed well up until 3 months latter I caught some virus that locked me out of booting up. I tried the emergency boot up disk I burned as requested to no avail.

I even have a system shadow stored unto a external hrdriv. but didn't think I would be forced to start from scratch. I took it to the shop and was blown away to find that my desktop had 19 various infections/malware I thought Essentials was enough to catch

and neutralize. I was told never to mix essentials w/another antispy/malware program for it would cause clashes, however Malaware antibytes kept coming up as a safe program to add that would benefit my system working only one program at a time (essentials,

malaware) It seemed to work well for about a week then I couldnt help myself &amp clicked on the malawares homepage when running to see if there was anything else it could do! Bamh!!!! Everything froze up and it took me a full hour of trying to reach a previous

resto point which fianlly worked. Now I am left totally confused and concerned about using this seemingly cool free software in the future. Does anybody out there has had lots of experience with using this software or knowing somebody that does?

I appreciate all incoming replies!!!
