Hi Chris I'm sorry; I should have made this more clear. We want to stay well away from Microsoft add-onds, and we're moving away from Eset Smart Security if possible. Eset is fine as far as it goes; but they're quite expensive for what it is.
We never go for the free versions of anything, to be honest. There is, we find, always a catch with those. And that is perfectly understandable. Thank you for the suggestions though.

These are both free and fully accessible applications. I can't see any other justification apart from that. If you want to renew your Eset license, that's fine. But I use this combination and they work great. In fact, I have paid for Malwarebytes Antimalware Pro simply because of the realtime protection and scheduler feature. But this one is up to you. The free version provides on demand scanning and updating. Hope this helps.
