Unfortunately you most likely can't avoid viruses anymore with XP. It doesn't get patches and the exploits simply bypass the antiviruses.

Although I admit that Malwarebytes' is a great program, I wouldn't rely on it solely. If I had to choose one single program to protect my computer, I wouldn't choose it. The reason is simple: Malwarebytes' is not an antivirus program! If you don't believe me, believe them: https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/8068-is-antimalwarebytes-an-anti-virus-program/.

Then again, if you were running Windows 8 you might consider the built-in Defender as the main antivirus... After all, the Defender in Win8 is the same product as Microsoft Security Essential which claimed to be an antivirus program.

I myself actually use Microsoft security essentials and malwarebytes, making sure to keep both updated . when just playing this game i turn it off.  i always  have it on  for web browsing etc. it amazes me how many web pages these days have those sneaky little bugs such as .Trojan.Clicker.W7,or the malicious websites add-ons which is what probably happened to Flench . I myself dont believe Microsoft security essentials is a totally safe virus protector but it is free and both will work together with seminally no conflict.
  It is my belief that a persons web browsing habits are what gets them into the most trouble . the above clicker virus was detected on my computer after letting someone use my system while i was away.
