It would be beneficial if you executed the program periodically, perhaps daily?

You can rely on real-time protection while having MalwareBlaster ready as a backup. (Panda Security would still function even with it installed.)

If you're unfamiliar with CCleaner, it's worth adding. It removes many files safely without erasing anything vital. Be sure to pick the items you wish to delete, such as Chrome extensions, browsing history, etc.

It's a tool designed to locate registry changes, issues, and more. It helps remove unnecessary files like cookies and app caches across various Windows programs and third-party software. Additionally, it functions as an uninstaller and offers several other features—more info at https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner. I've used the free version for years without any problems and it performs exactly as intended.

For your antivirus, since it lacks real-time protection, I’d use it during file downloads from the internet and occasionally weekly (you can even schedule scans). For cleaner performance, you can run Ccleaner periodically. On your HDDs, I use a free tool called Defraggler to defrag them regularly. If you’re not using a drive with games, it will automatically defrag it in the background, and vice versa for other drives.

But the combined panda and malwarebytes plus ccleaner should suffice? (I intend to execute panda in full real-time mode, malwarebytes nightly scans for two nights, and ccleaner weekly.)
