I have some malware on my laptop, where I've been using Avast (Free), so clearly that isn't enough. What are people recommending these days? I need something(s) to clean the system and then to run always to keep it clean.

Thanks!

I use a combo of Microsoft SE, SUPERanitspyware, and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
