I've got Avast; should I get Malwarebtes too?

Subject title changed back.

I would purchase MBAM Pro lifetime license even if I wasn't going to use it at this time. MBAM 2.0 will be a yearly subscription and when MBAM 2.0 is released I have read that the MBAM Pro lifetime license will still be honored.

All play nicely together, avast! residential av solution, MBAM,  Malwarebytes-Anti-Exploit and SAS non-resident anti-malware solutions.
A square set!
And apart from the occasional tracking cookie nothing has been found during quick scans.
Top this off with NoScript and RequestPolicy extensions and a decent ADware Blocker in the browser and you're quite secure.
For venturing out where one was never before use the browser inside a VM or inside a sandbox.
Do a complete scan of your user files once in a fortnight and you are as secure as you can be.
Safe-hex is the way to go and folks, do not forget to use your common sense, it was given to you to be used 
Stay safe and secure on those Interwebs,

My apology..........

Thx....anyone try the BETA with Avast2014 ?.......I see they have rootkit, etc.....so wondering if any gotchas.

With the launch of 2.0, we'll also be moving to a subscription licensing model, $24.95 per year. As more and more people have come to rely on us for malware protection and cleanup, our costs in bandwidth, hosting fees, infrastructure, salaries of our researchers, QA department, and more have grown immensely. Though our company is about more than just making money, we are a company and we do have to make money to pay our staff to continue doing what they love, which is fighting malware. The subscription model will help us to be sustainable for the future while staying true to our roots that we will always make malware cleanup free for everyone. We will continue to honor existing lifetime licenses, meaning any users that already have a lifetime license for 1.x will continue to have a lifetime license for 2.x. We'll be offering a few thousand more lifetime licenses during launch as well. On top of all of that, new subscription licenses will be valid for 3 PCs, not just 1. We could have gone other routes to make our business more financially sustainable, like adding toolbars or advertisements like many other security products have, but that's not the company we are. We believe that products should be nag-free and cleanup shouldn't cost our users a dime, and we're going to stay true to that. Scanning for and removing malware will be free in version 2.x and beyond! You didn't pay to get infected, you shouldn't pay to clean it up!

Well it matters as it breeds confusion when reading a lot of Threads/Posts and the reference showing on the Forum has changed.

@ TheKochs : I tried to install again everything went nice and smooth I followed all the correct procedures but when I try to test it CryptoPrevent that is once again I get the following message.

Prevention not applied or unsuccessful. Be sure to reboot the PC after applying protection before testing.

Uninstalled it again ! 
I will ask about it at the Foolishit site shortly.

The MBam  Beta v.2 test #2 is extremely stable, MBam has always been the Second of Choice for Avast side by side.
