Done all that - is that it?

You only need to run MBAM if you have (or think you have) a problem.

This is bad advice. If you think you have spyware you should run at least two completely seperate scanners.

I've removed thousands of infections on different PC's in my time as a Systems Engineer and many of those times other programs have picked up things MBAM doesn't.

I didn't mean that MBAM should only be run in isolation, I specifically responded to the OP's question as to when MBAM should be run.

Really your call. personally i recommend updating and scanning weekly if your still unsure if its infected or not. Or monthly otherwise (In conjunction with your main av)
