    No big surprises compared to previous comparisons, good news overall.

    I'm new to Windows, if I get Avira Pro do I also need an anti-malware?

    Well... just get Spybot S&D next to it and run it sometimes.

    Otherwise you are good.

    Had a quick look at the av-test.org Oct 2016 results earlier and of the five products that received a 'Top Product' badge, I'm considering Kaspersky Lab Internet Security 2017. Also being one of the two products (along with Bitdefender Internet Security) that won 'Product of the Year' accolades in their Feb 2016 awards for best products of 2015.

    Currently using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium and 360 Total Security (free). Would I need anything else in addition to the above or is that basically an all-in-one package(anti-spyware, malware and internet protection)?

    I know it's a personal preference but what do the power users and I.T. professionals here use and recommend?

    Thanks.
