My preference now is Microsoft Essentials, it is free and works so well. Have it on all the family computers. It updates itself with MS updates. I used AVG and Avast but this is better. I also use MalwareBytes and Super Antispyware free editions if I suspect I have clicked something bad. Never have but they clean out some adware so cannot hurt.
