    OP, I'll refer you to this post by Kaspersky, the makers of Malwarebytes.....

    Running two programs is a waste of resources. If your program is missing things, it's a poor antivirus and should be dropped. If you insist on running two programs, only let one run and monitor your system in the background, otherwise you'll be back to square one with cruft taking over your system.

    As for transferring your data to a new SSD, I forgot you'll need either an external hard drive or an external enclosure for your new SSD in order to temporarily transfer files or clone your data. If it were me, I'd copy my necessary files and start from scratch, reinstalling Windows just to be sure.
