Yes. Malwarebyte'S Anti-Malware.

But always be aware that you only influence the chances in your favour, you do not gain absolute, total protection. There is malware out there since some years that can easily defeat any scanner and firewall on the market and actively avoid getting detected by them. Some gurus go as far as saying that the security business only still runs its income show by raising false assumptions about scanner software to milk people a bit more - their recommendations go as far as saying you should not care for spending on scanners at all.

I think they are still useful, at least for filtering out a good amount of new malware that is not as cleverly coded, and the whole lot of old malware that these scanners, the better ones at least, can reliably filter out.

Its war, and security is loosing it.
