Well all good one are , and there's always the free trial . I tend to practise the monthly purge . That means installing K. and MB. and Ccleaner. and Defraggler and make the system like new . And once the gunk builds up i redo it again ! 

 

 

Also i forgot it's paid so i'm sorry OP

Microsoft Defender + Malwarebytes. Just scan with Malwarebytes every few weeks.

You honestly don't need one. Just use your common sense and don't click on shit that seems weird. Windows Defender is running in the background anyways, you can even turn that off if you're confident. Just make sure to run a malwarebytes scan every month or so and you're golden, no need for 1000 background processes from an antivirus program that cause problems.

I use Avira.

[dcb-z]

I run avast and Malwarebytes and I haven't had any problems.

[George.C]

To be honest mate I just rock around with AVG free edition. Works fine. Any free antivirus isn't too bad.

[Speaker1264]

avast + malwarebytes

[Whorax]

Your brain? That's better antivirus than any software.

My combo.  ZoneAlarm Firewall and BitDefender ( light and scans in the background.)

Not sure why people say that. I best to not wear my seatbelt because I know am a good driver and won't get into any accidents.

Firewall.

That's terrible logic.

Avast and Malwarebytes.

I just started using 360 Total Security. Seems great, and its free.

I would continue using it except I don't think it can schedule scans which I perform on my NAS once a week.

Norton Kappa

Avast or MalwareBytes

Free?

Avast is probably the best free one out there. AVG has a higher amount of false positive.

Both are heavy on the system though.

 

If you don't care about that, then Avast + a malwarebyte scan every once in a while.

 

Otherwise there's Avira, which isn't too heavy on the system but lacks a lot of feature in the free version, but is also considered one of the best out there at the moment.

But really, use whatever you prefer, there's no such thing as a "best anti virus" out there. As long as it's up to date, any anti virus will do the job, the rest is up to personal preferences... some common knowledge like not using IE and not browsing shady websites also help a lot.
