The free version of Malware Bytes
Has no real time scanning you need to run the scans manually and ideally in Safe Mode which applies to any software used to clean infections.

As for as 7,978 malware-infected programs happening I would seriously take a look at the people who use the computer. There is no product that will protect any Operating System from Poor Practices visiting Porn and Gambling Sites and even worse the user clicking on Install Popup when they appear.

If you visit Porn Sites or Gambling Sites or download through Torrents you are exposing your system to potential infections which can not be prevented. You will have heard the Public Health Warnings of Practicing Safe Sex but the exact same applies to any computer though particularly Windows Systems you have to Practice Safe Browsing to minimize infections.

The other thing you need to understand is clicking on Accept Popup's when looking at your e-mail will also result in a mass of infections that no security program has a hope of stopping as you the user is allowing them to be installed. The same applies to allowing extra Tool Bard to be installed and so on and on and on.
