You should be good. Once a month or so you may want to give a full scan with malwarebytes too.

I agree. This is a good idea too. Because of what I mentioned above, not that I've really needed the additional tool to this point - I've installed the pay version of malwarebytes on my highest traffic PC with multiple users; one of which uses terrible discretion when friends send them something. I do it because of what I've seen with the PCs at my job as mentioned above just to provide an added layer of checking. So far it hasn't caused any problems running along with Avast.
