What is this an Advertisement?
Malwarebytes, CCleaner and a decent virus protection program is really all you need. Also potentially free. I choose to either donate or buy full versions.
East-Tec Eraser is a great program for deleting hard to get rid of tracking cookies internet cache and so on. However it costs money.

I use MSE too.
I did have McAfee but I was advised to un-install it with a removal tool because your pc will not remove all of it using the normal method. Same applies to Norton.

I forgot to mention that Microsoft Security essential got taken off.
I only have McAfee antivirus installed only.
I did install it to see if it worked (and it did for a while but took it off after other people said it clashed sometimes).
Still I am kind of skeptic about having McAfee installed as I heard many mixed reports.
Long time ago (like 10 years ago or more) I had McAfee installed and it made my computer run so slow. But these days it's OK nothing lags and I have come accross no problems. I guess I am not doing crap to my computer or installing S#*t like a lot of people do and then blame their antivirus when it goes nuts.
Also it came free with my laptop and the lisence registered till 2015 so it's worth keeping it.
Used to use Kaspersky Antivirus but the license price is kinda steep for my liking.

I have used Avira for a very long time and love it.
The newest version has compatibility problems with some of the other software I have so, I have switched to Avast and so far have had no problems and seems to be doing an outstanding job.
But then, I have so much other blocking, that the anti-virus is secondary anyway... lol
I have found that McAfee and Norton have gotten a little too big for their britches.... I like to have one firewall, one AntiVirus, one antiSpyware, one antiMalware etc... Not One fat guy trying to do it all... Just my Humble opinion..
