Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium verses Iobit Malware Fighter 3 Pro - Tested. Who's better?
-
Quick testing of two very popular products. You don't see this class of software tested much (even if informally). http://nosebotpress.blogspot.ca/2015/04/malwarebytes-anti-malware-premium.html#more

I've found ADWCleaner, Roguekiller, Spybot, Emsisoft, HitmanPro and Herdprotect very useful. These days I just add a regularly update image of my harddrive ever couple of day or so and thus no longer bother scanning or cleaning on a regular basis until I make a new image which is every week or two. Why go through all the crap when I can put my image on in a few minutes? All I need really is a good anti-virus for real-time monitoring.

well, those that you mentioned don't have anti-exploit protection nor real time monitoring. spybot does have some form of web immunization, and emsisoft is an antivirus (unless you meant their portable emergency scanner), but the rest are just demand scanners. adwcleaner is a piece of the malwarebytes machine (owned by them).
your solution is effective, but ironically, it sounds more tedious to me. i prefer to set and forget (with occasional investigation if something seems amiss).

Something worth noting is that Windows 10 now has a lot of what was offered by malwarebytes built-in, like Write protection, Memory anti-exploit and antimalware scanning.

HitmanPro
has my vote
All the other cleaners I have used have caused more grief than usefulness except for Malwarebytes and the Sophos virus removal tool. works like Malwarebytes but a different engine I believe.
New Spybot I am not fond of, though probably effective. -
