    I was recommended to use a bitdefender, which is getting more and more popular http://pc4u.org/bitdefender-antivirus-plus/

    Kaspersky in my opinion.



    There's another shooting today, and this one was bad
    I'm glad that we all hope and pray, but it takes more than that
    We've been trying, we've been crying
    Hoping that they will do more than keep lying
    I need to believe that people can change
    Or else this life has all been in vain
    What's the point of fighting if we're fighting for a lie?

    I'm not senDing sublimInal messagEs to rule breakers

    I used to use Bitdefender but it started going downhill - crashing a lot for example. I tried n Beta a few years ago and noticed it was blocking the internet on most browsers from working, so being a beta I reported it expecting a fix. However when the Beta closed and the new version went public they still hadn't fixed it and for months just kept asking for log after log from users. Luckily the Beta was free and I didn't buy the new version but a lot of people ended up paying for what seemed like an unfinished version. On the plus side Bitdefender always seemed good on resources and it seems to have an easy to use interface and for people who don't know what to do a simple automatic mode.

    I'd say the best is Eset Smart Security - A great antivirus with a firewall and other stuff. They have just brought out version 9 which includes banking protection and a modern easier to use interface. It is also like Bitdefender low on resources.

    I'd also recommend running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware alongside an antivirus. It's actually designed to run alongside an antivirus and finds stuff that most antiviruses tend to miss. They offer a free version which you can use to just scan on demand while as you have to pay monthly to have the live protection. Luckily I managed to get myself a lifetime license a while back but don't think they do them anymore.

    Sadly you'd still need an antivirus

    A combination of Microsoft Security Essentials + Malwarebytes Free + Common sense is the best bet. Not really tried any of the others.
