What's the best antivirus solution to pair with MalwareBytes Pro?

I currently run MalwareBytes PRO + BitDefender 2013 on all my PCs currently, but my BitDefener license is expiring soon. I'm curious if I should cancel and get something else or if I should renew it. I'll be honest and say I am not the most careful person when browsing/downloading, I can spot obvious scams from a mile away, but what I am trying to say is that I am a lot more prone to viruses than someone who browses Facebook all day. I have an unlimited budget as long as it's not something extremely expensive, say over $200. I'm fine with paying $100 for MalwareBytes and Bitdefender together. I also have a pretty good system (3930k + 32GB RAM) that can handle pretty much anything I throw at it.

Avast is great and free. 

except for their insistent goddamn ads. great antivirus, but annoying as fuck

 

MSE and Avira are 2 of which i really love that are free

                                                                                                                                            Praise Duarte!

Why are you using two antiviruses? Just stick with Malwarebytes Pro. It's the best you can get.

Bitdefender seems to catch more infections before the worst part begins.

Buddy, running without an antivirus means you definitely don't know what you're doing.

I'm running Malwarebytes Pro on it's own right now, but I usually have Bullguard going.

Fantastic program but I can't afford the $90 sub right now.

Really? Been doing it for years. Had no problems... I occasionally run the free version of MalwareBytes.

 

Really know what I am doing here, viruses aren't that hard to avoid, If you download something, make sure it's trusted.

 

Don't open spam e-mail etc.

 

It's quite simple, otherwise I have been EXTREMELY lucky for the past 5 years. (If you don't believe me that is)

 

I wouldn't recommend it, but I can personally do without.

I use MSE and IMO it's pretty good. I've yet to have anything slip past it.

MSE, AVG for free. Eset nod32 for paid.

Malwarebytes is malware. Not an AV. So you combine virus + malware with 2 programs.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

 

A virus is malicious. The definition of Malware is something malicious.

Except you never know when some Google search webpage is going to force Search Conduit on Chrome everytime you open a browser requiring an entire friggin reinstall of Chrome to get rid of. The one time I don't use an anti-virus is the time I get a malware.

I have no problem with their ads? they only pop up when the clients updated, which lets you know its working. This happens once a day

Heh, yeah, well I still run Malwarebytes sometimes to check. But a virusscanner is not necessary for me personally.

I am just very careful.

And a slip up can always happen, but it hasn't yet.
