I have Webroot and Malwarebytes. Do I need and anti spyware as well? If so, what is a good one to have?

Spyware is a type of malware, and you say you already have MalwareBytes. https://www.malwarebytes.com/spyware/The premium version of Malwarebytes has a solid reputation for spyware protection. You can have more than one anti-spyware program installed, but you probably don't want both running in real time. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/fo...al-time-protection-programs-an-overkill/The real issue is not to have two or more anti-virus programs, or two or more anti-malware programs that have real-time security, because that will cause conflicts in your computer and might even make it more vulnerable.

Malwarebytes is excellent at getting rid of spyware.
You could get CCleaner and run that once a week or so. It gets all the cookies and junk that accumulates that isn't necessarily spyware. There is a setting to move cookies you want to keep for passwords such as Gameboomers.
