Right antivirus reccomendations?

[Liquid]

Since avg seems to have dropped the ball on me(probaly my fault as well) I have been infected with a beautiful bit of malware that's downloading new viruses to its hearts content:( currently running a bootable malwarebytes disk in the hope it catches it(fingers crossed).

Thankfully my backups stay true to their word and are in perfect working order (phew!!).

Unfortunatly I've now lost a days work:(

Anyone got any good reccomendations? For a free firewall/antivirus? If need be ill pay but I've spent enough this month haha.

Malwarebytes should catch it, why not use Microsoft Security Essentials to save time and money?

I've always been under the impression Microsoft security were not to be trusted? (Probaly living in the past).

I sincerely hope it does avg only saw the viruses yet didnt detect the malware:(

I'm running Microsoft Security Essentials alongside Comodo firewall and they seem to catch everything. Always run MalwareBytes once a week and it's always clean.
