I'm using MBAM with the last bit of trial left. I like the Tools section as it has some handy features. It runs quite smooth alongside of MS Defender. Of course, I don't need a paid AV but a bit of a trial is fun.

I have a lifetime license for MBAM, but I still found it too heavy on system performance for my taste, but I like how agressive it is against web threats and PUPs.

Nice to see that it is performing well for you.

Nowadays the only solution that don't annoy me is Microsoft Defender, oh well...
