Take it from a senior security engineer and certified malware reverse engineer - this is the anti-malware solution you want.
I am a senior security engineer with many years' experience in the field, and a certified malware reverse engineer, and I use SecureAPlus exclusively for all my family's Windows systems. It's essentially VirusTotal in an app, with a great whitelisting feature that allows you to decide what gets to run, what gets to act as an installer, and what gets to perform system modifications. You just install it, let it run a scan, clean anything it finds (hopefully nothing), and then anything new you run will cause a prompt that asks you if you meant to run it, and optionally will run a scan using every engine on VirusTotal (something like 54 anti-virus/anti-malware engines). It might sound like a hassle, but it's actually really easy once you give it a try, and my kids use it with ease. It notifies me if anyone in my family gets an infection, too (although the infection is already gone by the time I check).
