Why treating your phone as a computer is becoming a mistake

took your advise from reading this and in another posting today/tonight. Got the eset nod32 and webroot secureanywhere.. Got the webroot downloaded and checked the settings and it looks like all things are turned on in the advanced settings. Any suggestions on what else to turn on or look at. Same question for when I set up NOD32. I got both on downloaded versions for one year. ESET was cheapest form eset site at $33/year and Webroot on newegg for $14/year. I'm content witht he price point maybe i'll find a deal next year. Looks like this setup automatically shuts down Windows defender. I uninstalled the avg, mcaffe and norton shit that was preloaded to my laptop. I still have my superantispyware downloaded. Should it uninstall that as well?

Thanks in advance

In 7 Defender stays on, in 8 or above , if you install anything else Defender shuts off automatically. I have no idea if Super will interfere, but it's not much better than Defender. AS I said above, go thru the tree on left in advanced setup and turn on things like advanced heuristics in each area, that gos 3 layers deep in some places. Note: lately NOD32 web protection has been blocking some perfectly innocent websites mostly for certificate irregularities. If a site won't load, you don't get a warning, it just won't load...turn off web access protection for a sec to check.

Thanks, advanced heuristics was checked already in my download. I'll verify that in the morning. I think I added some checks to self update and one or two things. Thanks for the guidance on this
