And I would need the "on-demand" version, right? And could I download that onto a flash drive and would that be sufficient so I wouldn't have to be dis-installing it every time I run a scan? And (last question I promise) if I get the on-demand one for a pen drive, do I want the "portable" version? And (okay, it was the second to last question) does anybody have a link for the exact Malwarebtes one that would fit my needs? Phew! Thanks!
necessary and sufficient is guide
Malwarebytes necessary on occasion
Malwarebytes not sufficient

use Bitdefender always
run Malwarebytes on occasion

always run full scan on downtime
