use a combination of 2 together
one specifically for malware and another for general antivirus threats etc
you may want to disconnect from the internet when accessing your wallets passowrds etc or if your superparanoid install multibit on a usb stick and only plug it in to send coins to your phone or hot wallet etc while disconnected from the internet
safer again is to use a dedicated old computer thats NEVER been connected to the net as your cold storage and lots of backups etc in the event of catastrophic failure

This may surprise you but i believe none is the best!
I have had none on mine for well over a year without any problem i have not even had to remove anything manually from the computer.
Just need to watch what links you click sites you visit etc

Yes, AVAST is the best one.
Avast? Seriously?
The last few versions are becoming increasingly annoying.
Just have your mass wallets on linux cold storage. Connect every once in a while to recharge your live wallets and be done with it.

I am now using malwarebytes and avg antivirus.
These two softwares are good to protect your crypto and proven adequate, as the other one suggested here you might as well try avast.
ClamAV under Linux... 
+10000000000 (I can't put enough 0's here ffs)
I've only had to use it once, cleaning a Windows drive. It did work magic!
Some good number of years ago I used AVG free. When I came back from holiday, I had a surprise. A bad one. AVG was not updated for long time (obviously) and couldn't connect to get the latest signatures. So it turned off the entire protection(!!).
Since then I use Comodo.
To protect your coins, just keep small amount at hand and the rest can stay on paper wallets. And if you generate and print 1000 of them, a hacker/virus will hardly be able to keep track...

The best form of peace-of-mind protection is loading your wallets onto an unused USB device, never connected to your machine unless you are transferring coins ~ AKA Offline storage.
Does anyone of you know what will be the best antivirus software to protect your crypto?

That's a pretty good combination, but if you are not happy with it you might wanna take a look at NOD32.
You really need to use a decent firewall in addition to antivirus. Comodo firewall is good if you know how to configure it. For antivirus Avira or Avast are good.
Avast>Kaspersky>AVG>MarlwareBytes>Norton
kaspersky and zemana antilogger.

Common sense and good security practices
Beyond that kaspersky is pretty decent for proactive protection
AVAST is best one.
malwarebytes is very good ,another suggest, always check new wallets

+1 I would not trust a single satoshi to Microsoft Windows regardless of the Anti Virus software used.
Encrypt your wallets too, of course.
