I believe we really need some improvement here or suggest using software in general. This question seems to come up too often. On the other hand: for free antivirus options, you should consider Avira or Bitdefender. Bitdefender is lighter but offers fewer control features. If you prefer a paid choice, Kaspersky or Bitdefender would be better. I’d likely pick Kaspersky because their team has uncovered many security flaws before. You might also look into AVTEST, which rates antivirus programs. (Bitdefender and Kaspersky are the leading two.) It’s also a good idea to scan your computer weekly—or however long you’re comfortable with—using Malwarebytes. Just remember, Malwarebytes isn’t an antivirus itself; use it only as a scanner. Avoid accepting its trial and turn it off at startup.

I've been employing Avast for some time now. It performs exceptionally well.

I relied on AVG Free for a long time before switching to a Lifetime Subscription for MalwareBytes for $20 (or possibly $30). It performed well and never caused any problems.

Hey there, Avast or Bitdefender Free Edition. AVG has faced some issues in the past, which is why I have reservations... like those blue screen problems on Windows Vista when SP1 came out... but hey, that’s just part of my tech experience. I doubt they’d make such a mistake again. As others mentioned, Microsoft Security Essentials is considered one of the worst free antivirus options these days.

I rely on Avira for live defense using malware bytes each week. I avoid Microsoft Security Essentials since it consumes too much processing power on my devices.
