I am using malware bytes and haven't got any problem it have been working fine. Since it has saved me from formatting my main drive once x'Dx'D and bit defender is too aggressive for me.

Perhaps one should trust the experts instead of the plebs.

We have exploits and drive by viruses that can be triggered by just visiting a website. Personally, I use free Bitdefender and free Malwarebytes Anti-exploit. A friend uses the paid Bitdefender and HitmanPro.Alert. He's frequently gone into areas I wouldn't even dare go and he's never had to reformat, etc.
Biggest takeaway... KEEP your browsers, operating system, and antivirus/anti-malware progs completely updated. If you don't, you can easily get infected. So I cannot say it enough.. keep them up-to-date. Another thing I do is keep all programs updated - even games.
I've been running Win 10 for 2 years and never reformatted. Had windows 7 for 2 years prior without any reformatting, viruses, etc. Now, I did have accounts hacked but that was only because I had federal work and the chinese hacked my employer's database and the yahoo hack got me, too. Now I've got this frickin notepad full of passwords, etc. I mean written notepad in my own encryption.

Hitman Pro is good depending on your situation, but it can be too wild. My experience using it, my windows broken because it quarantined some of my os loader files in a false positive case (yes i use pirated windows with loader, hitman hit them too).
So in the end, i back to old trusty malwarebytes, maybe it's not the most reliable but at least it most safer from my experience.
