Good to hear that you are sorted
As for the future, I'd say keep it simple, others may (and probably will) disagree. Overloading your machine with security programs will offer very little more protection and more than likely cause problems.
Microsoft Security Essentials or Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition (
NOT both) , are lightweight, low user interaction requirement and free.
As for anti malware on demand scanners then AdwCleaner are MBAM are popular and effective.
At the end of the day it's user choice, a back up plan of some sort is probably just as important (if not more so) than prevention, depends how much you value your data and time
