Personally, I like AVG Free's resident shield. It's caught basically everything. I have yet to be infected in 4 years. But, Ad-Aware Plus's shield will catch a good majority of the nasties.

In terms of scanning, in addition to Anti Virus, Ad-aware and Malwarebytes will get all the junk

What do you mean by "AVG's Resident Shield"? That is in REAL-TIME, right?? I have that enabled as well. I do have AVG Internet Security 8.5 installed.
I want to be able to pick stuff up that the “shield” missed.

Correct.

Malwarebytes will accomplish this.

What Security software do you currently have installed?
