Hello, I would recommend that you use Avast. It is easy and quick to download and I have had it for about 2 years and no virus outbreaks. Although I had the free version for about 6 months I upgraded to pro and I really like it. I'd suggest that you also get something like Malwarebyte's or something to remove spyware. Malwareb is also free to download. Happy New Year to you too!

I'm not sure if there is any one antivirus that can protect against all kinds of viruses and spyware, that's why most people tend to run a couple of them in conjunction. Personally, I use avira, malwarebytes anti malware and spybot: search and destroy, and have no problems with viruses or malware. All of these are free to download. Obviously different types of programs will work better for different people. You could try some out and see what suits your computer habits.

I would recommend these three antiviruses: Avast It can bust out all kinds of worms that even norton antivirus can't detect. I have used it for years now but because of its thorough scanning it scanning progress is slow. It also blocks websites that attacks computer and blocks downloads when it sees that it is a threat for your computer and this is what I like about it. And it has boot scan that can recover your computer from a serious virus infection upon installation. Avira It is just like avast but has faster scanning time especially for usbs. I sometimes use it with avast so I can scan my usb faster than the other. AVG This antivirus is good but in my experience,since it is free, its guards are off. I don't know if it still like that:D
