Does anyone have a preferrence to what anti-virus package they use?

Does any of these software packages detect a virus better than others?

I was informed to download the free malwarebytes.org and perform a scan every week. It's free because you have to run the scan. You pay if if you select to automatically run for you?

Your input is greatly appreciated.
Most of what you are asking is being covered here: Do I need to buy AVG now after it being free?

I'm a very happy Microsoft Security Essentials user. You'll find a link to their page on my post at the above link.
