Hello matty3,
I would suggest that you enable any automatic update features that your AV and Anti-Malware applications may have. If they don't have an automatic update feature I would strongly recommend that you check for updates at least every couple days. New infections and their variants are being produced on a daily basis and the best way to try to keep protected against them is to keep AV and Anti-Malware applications updated with their latest signature files.
Ensure that you have any resident scanning options enabled and failing this do a manual scan at least on a weekly basis. You can schedule this to happen with the use of Scheduled Tasks if neccessary.

The way my AV (avast) works i can schedule in three ways, Boot time scans(best fastest and most thourogh scan), scheduled (a time when computers on but you wont be needing it) and screensaver i use the screensaver alot as i can leave my computer and itll just scan itslef which basically ensures even if i forget to scan manually the PC has a full scan at least once a day.
