Another fake security software is USBcillin, which claims to protect your from virus attacks due to Removable media.
But practically it itself is a virus code. Just always stay away from it.

Problem is these Fake AV are installed on their own by misleading the users through malicious web pages etc and obviously no reviews you an find about them except instructions on how to remove them.
People should start learning how to browse the web safely
I have no idea about the realtime protection of MBAM, But are you sure it blocks all malicious content? Does MBAM pro have HIPS ability? Try spyware blaster, it immunizes your browsers against thousands of blacklisted websites. This way you can be sure you dont get into mailious sites Its free, but you need to update it manually. Use Firefox, or one of its clones (Cometbird, Seamonkey, Iceweasel or Flock) and install WOT or PC tools Browser Defender. Browser Defender scans the website and tells you if a webpage is safe or not. We can also see Browser defender's icon at the end of google's links in search results. WOT is different, it depends on visitor's ratings.
Ashwin,
After Avinash gifted me MBAM pro,I immediately installed it and found it extremely helpful.No clue if it has HIPS ability or not,but good news it does block malicious IP ,definitely sure about it.I definitely will check out Browser Defender and spyware blaster as you say,WOT is good but no protection
Trust me friend many say you need only a dedicated Internet security along with secondary scanner,i.e. MBAM pro[first choice] or/and SAS pro.
BTW I wish you all the best for Wilderssecurity forum giveaway,hope you win MBAM Pro since the license is for lifetime
Thanks for the wishes Vivek , winning that wont be easy with a hundred thousand participants
I already have a legal license of SAS pro on one of my PCs, bought it last month.
I wanted to buy Spyware doctor, but my friend insisted that we buy SAS since it has a lifetime license.
SAS pro doesnt block IPs, but is excellent at removing spyware and provides real time protection.
I recently upgraded the current pro version to the latest beta version 4.90.1018 :-)
Im looking for MBAM for my other PC,.
Although it is a bit more expensive than SAS, MBAM costs 1200rs.
SAS pro costs 9.95 $, or approximatley 500 rs for us.
Due to recent Paypal confusion in India, i asked my friend's brother in the US to buy it and send the license to my email.
I paid my friend in cash :-)
I did a small research on MBAM and found people complaining about IP blocking.
It blocks GAOD.com and many legal sites. Can you confirm this? Just visit GAOTD and see if it is blocked by MBAM
And i do not beleive MBAM has HIPS ability, take a look at this.

Browser Defender is better than WOT, but i use both. After all , they are just add-ons for FF.
Even if WOT doesnt have ratings for a website, Browser Defender will scan the web page for maliciuos content and warn you.
Remember spyware blaster is not real-time protection, just a tool with which we can immunize browsers.
You missed somethings like Kaspersky, bitdefender which are my favourite.
As Avinash said roguewares never invades normally. When you visit some sites, it just get itself downloaded and affects you. WOT may at times prove a best way to stay away from such sites.
Hmm. You can't stick to just one AV since trying out new stuffs is the key for any techie. For an info, i have all the security softwares you have mentioned, installed in my pc. Though they are in separate VM's.
