Malwarebytes free version

I have the free version but was wondering if anyone has the paid full version of Malwarebytes and if they think it's worth it?

I was a great fan of AVG, but my last desktop picked up all sorts of viruses, malware and adware, so I went with the free version of avast and a host of other software to clean it up. Right now I'm running Kaspersky on 2 and Trend micro on the desktop(came with it). Next will be Webroot Secure on all 3 computers. I've found that one can buy the software and get a full rebate if you look long enough, so I'll go that way while I can, but would revert to Avast free if a deal is not to be found.

I use Norton 360 Premier 2013. I had been using Norton Internet Security 2012 but decided to upgrade to 360 Premier for the extra features It has auto-backup and provides 25GB of free on-line secured storage. It also has some other neat features like a registry cleaner. It normally retails for $100 but I bought it from Amazon for $29 for the 3 PC version.

I have used several different security suites including BitDefender, McAfee, AVG, Norton. When I am ready for renewal, I check out all the reviews, Consumer Reports, etc. and then pick the one that best suits my needs. I then search for the best price. Even if I stay with the same one, I do not renew it as I can always find it for at least 50% cheaper than the renewal price. What is the best this year may not be next year. Norton used to be horrible until they got their act straightened out 3 or 4 years ago and are now one of the best.
