Built-in Windows Defender is a good option.

Another possibility is avast.

Windows defender is not as bad as people say it is as long as you keep it updated. Microsoft is quite good at responding to viruses now, don't let their 1990's reputation turn you into a jerk. No anti virus can protect you from your own derpiness. I have not used a virus scanner on Windows since Windows XP and I have not had a virus since 2003. To answer your op the best antivirus protection has to be Firefox with the noscript and AdBlock plugins and also change your DNS to opendns then set your homepage to opendns.com/welcome

Avast is very good, it has a lot of benefits when browsing the web. for example once i was looking to buy a xeon processor from newegg but avast notified me that there was a cheaper one on ebay and gave me a link to it. and avast was right. its pretty cool.
