I have Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware PRO on all of my PCs, as well as my family members' and a few friends' PCs. (To-date, I have probably purchased about 20 licenses.)
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware PRO is not made to replace your existing anti-virus software; it runs perfectly well along side (almost) any other anti-virus software you may be running. (Note: This is an exception to the rule because it is not, technically, anti-virus software.)
Effectively, the only real difference between the FREE and PRO versions is the ability to run the "real-time protection" mode. If say, for example, you browse to a website that has been infected... Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware will protect your PC from getting hit with the payload.
There are several FREE, high-quality anti-virus software packages out there; but, this puppy, IMHO, is definitely worth a paltry 12 bucks. In fact, second only to investing in a quality Surge Protector (or UPS), Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware PRO is next on my "must have" list for any Windows PC.
