On my shop computer i have a paid version of Avast and also a paid version of Malwarebytes and i also have a free version of spybot but am looking for something a little better.. Anyone use anything like Spybot that is real time and free?
I have customer information in that P.C. and i want to take steps to protect it.
 
Just FYI, that Malwarebytes is not "anti-virus" ... it's anti-malware, two different things.

So it's good you run it, but also need a good anti-virus program. I run Bitdefender Free, and it's a real time scanner. Very invisible in the background. Almost too simple.
 
Not necessary and you're going to eventually have software conflicts. Any top-rated, paid/full-version anti-virus will have everything you need. Crank up the settings. They're all passive.
 
I'm partial to Kaspersky since they take down botnets by having them self-delete off of the infected computers. I'm still impressed and will gladly give them my money.
Also with kaspersky, if your subscription hasn't expired, you can download the newest version of the suite and you're not limited to older software for the duration.

From Malwarebytes support

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is not meant to be a replacement for antivirus software. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a complementary but essential program which detects and removes zero-day malware and "Malware in the Wild".

This includes malicious programs and files, such as virus droppers, worms, trojans, rootkits, dialers, spyware, and rogue applications that many antivirus programs do not detect or cannot fully remove. That being said, there are many infections that Malwarebytes Anti-Malware does not detect or remove which any antivirus software will, such as file infectors.

It is important to note that Malwarebytes Anti-Malware works well and should run alongside antivirus software without conflicts. In some rare instances, exclusions may need to be set for your specific antivirus product to achieve the best possible system performance.

OP your not going to find anything better then what your already using, that combo is excellent and should provide plenty of protection, your armored well.

I use the free version of Avast, Malwarebytes, and SuperAntispyware.

Of course Avast runs all the time. I do a complete scan with each one once a week and haven't had any issues.
