    Malwarebytes or Superantispyware?


    Which is better and why? (I'm thinking of making a switch).

    I have always found MBM to be more effective. I do run both. I use MBM as main resident protection and with SAS I turn off protection and run it manually once a week.

    Why do you feel the need to switch? Something not working?

    There are lots of tools.

    1) AV/Firewall - Windows Defender or Norton Security/360
    2) Firefox 71 browser. (Preferred).
    3) Malwarebytes (free).
    4) SuperAntiSpyware - (free.)
    5) Safe browsing habits - use of private windows in your browser.

    Why? Because it's a nice mix!

    I did pay for Malwarebytes Premium several years ago so I still have that.

    We don't run anything real time except for Windows defender here. We run MalwareBytes anytime we experience any issues and it never finds anything at all.

    I do exactly the same as you, I only use Windows Defender for real time protection and Malwarebytes Free when run has never found anything.
