[QUOTE="Kongo, post: 929924, member: 59691"] I guess you mean Anti-Malware and not malware, cause that would be rather unfavorable on your system. I personally recommend using just one real-time protection software and not a second layer of defense but thats a matter of preference. If you're looking for an AV with low system impact and solid protection then I'd recommend ESET, Bitdefender or Kaspersky. I think Bitdefender is the most user friendly and automated one out of those three which can be advantageous if your family isn't really into the computer security thing. If you just want a free AV, then simply stick with Microsoft Defender. Back to your main question: As I said I personally don't think that you need an Antivirus plus an Anti-Malware software combination in real-time, but there is nothing wrong with using software like Malwarebytes Free. You can scan the system from time to time manually and check if your Antivirus missed something. I hope it answered your question. :) [/QUOTE]
