    Last year in Dec, after being helped here with cleaning my infected computer I followed the instructions in "How to Protect yourself from malwares". In that regard, I clicked on the link to download the IObit Malware Figher program and downloaded the pay version for one year subscription. The program turned out to be the "Advanced SystemCare Ultimate 8 (ASC)that includes a bunch of other stuffs, including the trial version of IObit Malware Fighter located in the toolbox. So, after the trial period expired I kept getting this message window popping up every now and then reminding me that my trial version had expired and to upgrade for protection.

    My question I have is that do I have the full protection of anti-virus and anti-malwares in my computer after all these times? I wanted to upgrade to the IObit Malware Fighter full version but then I thought the "Advanced SystemCare" has already included its own anti-virus and anti-ma;ware programs. So, these programs just confused me. I didn't want to deal with it as so far I have not encountered any infection attack on my computer except for tracking cookies that I have to download SUPERAntispyware to do the job, which it cleaned away 6,099 tracking cookies despite the fact that I had run the ASC numerous times with the "Clean & Optimize" tool and other deep cleaning tools in the tool box. Since my subscription to ASC is coming up for renewal, do I discontinue it and go for the paid version of "IObit Malware Fighter" or other programs? Please advice me on this one.

    FYI: Advanced SystemCare is not an antivirus program. Neither is Malware Fighter.
    Also you do not need SUPERAntispyware to clean cookies which are not problems anyway. But if you wish to clean them up periodically you can easily do this right from your browser. Or you could use CCleaner which also gives you the options to configure which cookies to save if you don't want to loose certain settings for various websites and passwords.
