I tried the rest, and now, IMHO, I've got the best ... MSE .. opinions may vary...

I'm with you on that one.
Avast worked well until I got issues with skins.
MSE was quick, ez to install and already blocked the fake scanner you have a virus ploy.

I used AVG in the past, but now I strictly use Cyberdefender. I downloaded their free scanner from their website and it found a bunch of junk that AVG had overlooked. I eventually ended up getting the full version which gets rid of all of the viruses and comes with 24/7 technical support. The tech team is great and will answer any question, not just those related to the Cyberdefender software. I would definitely recommend trying Cyberdefender.

Sorry to tell you this, but Cyberdefender is a FAKE antivirus. The scanner you downloaded gave you fake results - meaning that you never had a virus even though it said you did. This is done to sell their product.
You can read comments on the official cyberdefender website, Spyware Removal from CyberDefender Internet Security: offering virus scan and anti-spyware downloads here:

Still dont believe me? Take MBAM (Malwarebytes anti-malware) for a run. It is very trusted and will remove everything it finds for free.

NOTE: MBAM will detect cyberdefender because it is a fake antivirus.
