I am currently using Malwarebytes. I hate the new GUI and I hate the fact that Malwarebytes is now bloated with features that no one needs. The new GUI is cluttered and it reminds me of a GUI similar to those in cleaning utilities. On the bright side, the new version definitely feels snappier on my system, so they did a great job optimising their product. As for protection, I have not encountered any incident that reflects how good the protection is.
