Is this a good security software combination?

 

Antivirus- Bitdefender, Avast, Avira, etc. help me choose! (free)

 

Anti-Malware- MalwareBytes (free)

 

Anti-Ads- AdBlock (free)

 

Anti-Exploit- MalwareBytes Anti-Exploit (free)

 

 

If you have anything that you would recommend please tell me about it.

 

Thanks In Advance! :)

I personally dont use any anti-virus. Just use common sense and web of trust/ad block and if needed a script blocker.

Odd scan with malwarebytes every 2 weeks or so. Had nothing for years this way haha.

i've heard bitdefender is better, is it true?

Hell idk, no offence but you seem VERY parinoid about viruses lol just dont click/download shady links and if you do, a quick scan with malewarebytes+avast is good to go

Common sense when web browsing, and the occasional pass from Malwarebytes.

Eeh, by gum.

I continuously run trials of Sophos Endpoint on my laptop and McAfee (yes I know, but was included with my ISP. Thanks Shaw) on my desktop. Both get periodic scans with Malware-Bytes.
