Currently I am using Windows Defender and Malwarebytes (free version). Should I be using any others along with these two? I am too cheap to pay for Malwarebytes, but I know it is a good program and might consider getting it soon. What other virus programs would you suggest checking out? No MacAfee though.

I use 2, that is, Windows defender that came preinstalled on my computer, and I also use Avast antivirus, although sometimes it is more annoying than useful honestly, I have never used more than two antivirus on my computer, which I do not think is sincerely necessary as long as those used are reliable.
 
I use 360 Total Security, this anti-virus comes with 360 Internet protection, a browser extension for browsing security. I use just one program. I have never used more than one anti-virus programs.
 
If you have much knowledge about computers and the internet you don't even need an antivirus. But for basic users, one antivirus with real-time protection is enough as antivirus tends to use some resources and always runs in the background therefore more than one antivirus program could slow down a PC if you have a low-end PC.
