Malwarebytes or SpyBot?

Spybot in the trash, has been...

For me, I use superantispyware link https://www.superantispyware.com/
the free version I have no problem completed with CCleaner link https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner
here's what I can advise you it's all free.

It's done.

Now, the only thing left is to find software to replace it; I suppose Malwarebytes is one of the best right now?

Hello

Do not download Malwarebytes, update it manually before each use. Close it as soon as you're done.

Do not add it to quick start, no automatic updates, do not sign up, do not buy, do not touch anything in the protection tab.
This way it is free, it does not consume resources permanently.
(no, it doesn't have real-time protection for free. But a recent antivirus, even free like Avast 6, already includes spyware hunting which wasn't true 3 or 4 years ago.)
You can add it to the right-click menu to quickly scan a file, but in this case it benefits from the last update you made; if it's the same day, no problem, if the update is a month old, it's up to you to remember.

Thank you for your responses.

As for CCleaner, yes, I have also been using it for a while.

Well, from what I understand, Spybot won't really be useful anymore.

Any other opinions?

Good evening
I confirm that Spybot should be removed, it slows down your PC more than it protects it
MalwareBytesAntiMalware does not have resident protection in the free version, but it does in the paid version.

Great, thanks for the advice.

I was asking about resident protection so that it doesn't consume any resources, so if it doesn't have it, that's even better.

Thanks for your answers, I will go ahead and install it.
