Best virus, spyware protection.
I know I will get varied answers but I am looking for opinions as to the best virus/spyware protection. I presently have BullGuard and it is time to renew, but I'm not sure it's the best for the money...

For a long time I used both Bitdefender and Malwarebytes. I recently dropped Bitdefender and figure I'll give Microsoft Defender a shot. I've been hearing that it's much improved. I also run the paid Malwarebytes. It's my understanding that the difference between free and paid Malwarebytes is the paid version runs in real time and stops the threat before it gets into the system, while the free version has to be initiated by you after the fact. If I'm wrong about this guys help me out. I haven't had an infection in years(knock on wood).
I'm certainly no expert but my understanding is running two real time virus protection systems at the same time causes problems.
Right you are .... especially regarding having more than one type of firewall protection running at the same time. That's a no-no.
On my laptop, I disabled Windows firewall protection when I installed the McAfee computer protection suite.
