Well, I have been using Kaspersky from more than 5 years now and it works like a charm. Use to buy at first but i found this one online and
it's been working without any problem from more than 8months, it's a 1year version so you can check it out. Link

I always stick with browser plugins like ghostery/noscript.
malwarebytes & spybot S&D + ccleaner to keep system in shape (all free).
from my experience a virus always needs a careless user to execute it.
be cautious with download sources, email attachments and external storages esp usb sticks.
For a more secure environment throw linux on a second partition to boot from.
i'm no expert but i'd say linux on VM doesn't help much if your computer is already infected.

and finally i make a fresh install of windows at least once a year, depends how littered the system gets with the time.
If your setup is more complex with many types of software a mirrored backup of the partition with the virginal system is also quite handy.
(in case your fed up with hour long installations of adobe suite et al)

I would just use a free solution and not pay for one because they all pretty much do the same thing warn you about possible virus.

I'm using free version of Avira, and it works perfectly fine for me. I use it now 5 years, and still happy!

You should give it a try, very light, nearly no impact on your system.

Of course, be careful with what you download as well Smiley

I second that. I switched to Avast recently, but I started out with Avira and had it for like 5 years. Seriously great stuff.

Or don't use windows? I mean seriously, why do you even use it?

Because linux is horrible to use IMO and I like windows.
And there is viruses for other os too.

My free Avast and Norton have stopped working now :/

I'm installing Malwarebytes now and I'm going to download Kaspersky too.
Should I be safe enough with these two?

Are these the official sites to download them safely?
https://www.malwarebytes.org/
http://www.kaspersky.com/

Connection to http://www.kaspersky.com/ doesn't have "confirmed identity" so I would like to get confirmation about this is the real site.

Edit:

Looks like I really needed it Embarrassed
