I use common sense 2015 edition service pack 0, 100% success rate, many win. Last virus i had was in 2009, AVG decided to think every .exe file on my computer was a virus therefor breaking my OS and all programs. Never again will I use anything.

Windows Defender. I think if a person uses common sense they don't need anything else.

 

 

Malware however........ I scan with Malwarebytes every so often just cause

Kaspersky helped along by Malware Bytes.  So far been pretty solid.  I ran defender alone for a few months originally, but my paranoia got the best of me.

Windows Defender, common sense, Malwarebytes once a while...

If I need to do a secure transaction or sensitive data transfer, I load a clean Linux session.
