Windows 10: emsisoft emergency kit with defender

I have windows defender installed and run Emsisoft emergency kit from a flash drive a few times a week.
It is sort of awkward.
I could use MBAM with Defender and after the trial MBAM would do the same job as Emsisoft is doing now.
I think defender would provide real time protection and MBAM would provide on demand scanning.
Is there a better way to protect my PC without cost? Would you use the EEK in the flash drive or install MBAM free?

Windows defender shut off after restart and will not restart.

You may want to scan with the Emsisoft Emergency Kit (a free program): Как обнаружить и удалить угрозы с помощью Emsisoft Emergency Kit | Emsisoft | Security Blog If
necessary boot into Safe Mode to download the scanner or use another computer, put the EEK file on a flash drive and insert the flash drive in the infected computer...you can run the scanner from the flash drive. Other scanners that may help with this issue

What advice did you receive from your antimalware provider (Avast, AVG, Avira, McAfee, Norton, etc)?

If you cannot detect/remove the program that you thnk is causing the issues then move on to steps 2 thru 6. You may not need to scan with Hitman Pro (available in trial version if you do need to use it) as listed in step 4. But - if scanning with
AdwCleaner (step 2), JRT (step 3) and Malwarebytes Free (step 4) does not resolve your issue, you may need to reset your browsers as suggested in step 6.

The Emsisoft Emergency Kit and Eset Online Scanner are also very good free scanners:
