What Antivirus + Antimalware combo are you using and why?

I am using the free version of Bitdefender and SUPERAntiSpyware, I like the simplicity of Bitdefender and the low impact on performance it has, as for SUPERAntiSpyware I use it because its rated as one of the best.

 

I have also tried MalwareBytes, but I find that SUPERAntiSpyware scans my PC more thoroughly.

 

Would love to hear what you use and why, also if you have any recommendations.

I use Windows Defender too. I do not believe that it differs a lot from Kaspersky or McAfee and so on... or am I wrong?

I use Windows Defender, and MalwareBytes as a backup, plus Common Sense.

I havent looked into Windows Defender in a long time, how is it now?

It's not that bad, unless you're going around to the shadiest websites all the time.

Avira Pro, managed to find a -70% coupon and got 2 years for 13€. After that expired, happened to get a 1 year subscription from a giveaway.

Couple months to find yet another cool coupon to extend it.
