I use the paid versions of Malwarebytes and Bitdefender. I use the computer for my business, and it's not worth the risk of a free version missing something or providing fewer features (even if I don't use those extra features often). I also run the free version of Super AntiSpyware now and then, and it hasn't picked up anything that Bitdefender might have missed.
