I would stay with 360 total security using only their engines (balanced mode) and only activate in settings the "scan all files" option and the PUP detection. 360 has a great ransomware protection provided by his HIPS (it detects when a process is injecting code in an other)

Gone back to 360TS and NOT changing again :p this week I have had over 5 AVs. Should I use Panda AV, is it companion antimalware.

If you're going to use 360TS, I wouldn't recommend you overburden your config with more real-time scanners. I believe 360TS should suffice. :]

I liked it but it causes BSODs according to someone, I wish not to take that risk. Has it ever caused you a BSOD?
 
I downloaded Spybot Search & Destroy, used the immunization (fully immunized my system) feature then uninstalled, the only good thing about it :p

Keep in mind there is a portable version of it by PortableApps.com in case you need to use it again (sometimes, some immunization options are reset after certain software installations or after certain Windows updates). :P

Doesn't spywareblaster essentially does the same thing as spybot immuization? If so, then it could be a better alternative.

As far as the Spybot product line is concerned, personally I'm more interested in Spybot Anti-Beacon to help me disable those pesky telemetry modules in Windows 10.
Other than that, I don't believe any "anti-spyware" software have any significant role in most modern security configurations.

You don't need Spybot Search and Destroy. You already have an over-kill of extensions on Google Chrome.
@Azure Phoenix SpywareBlaster is already listed on his config, but to be honest, I don't think these software are that useful anymore. :confused:

I only used it to immunize my system then I uninstalled it.

Update: Fully immunized my system with Spybot Anti-Beacon, Spybot Search & Destroy and SpywareBlaster
