I'm using Avast and CCleaner and I shred my files when I delete them or uninstall a program that leaves folders behind with File Shredder. (www.fileshredder.org) - all on the recommendation of someone I trust.
AVG sucks - get rid of it.
Malwarebytes sucked for me - never found a thing - ever and I KNEW I had some shit in there.
AdAware free and paid version used to be good until their 2009 release. Then it turned to shit. Read the reviews on Download.com - I went back and forth with them for a month trying to get the program to work and nothing. Found the reviews on Download.com and no one had anything good to say - everyone was basically putting in the same complaints as me - I also added a comment.
I also try to reformat once a year.
Get yourselves an external storage hard drive, it'll be the best investment you've ever made. I can recover and reinstall my stuff and files in less than one day because I can back up all my important info on the external.
