I've had good luck with Avast. Started off with the free, but bumped up to the paid version the last few years just for the heck of it. The free version seemed to work well, though.

AVG has been really annoying me on my home desktop/server for months now. I've had issue with Avast on the wife's computer false blocking lots of legitimate comms, like her work VPN, etc.
Don't get me started on SEP on the work laptop. Worst part there is constantly having to turn off the network intrusion to allow my VM's network access - admin policy controlled so it re-enables itself periodically. Been getting false positives on legit file downloads too since they started blacklisting "unpopular downloads."
My Feedback
Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."

Neither AVG nor Avast (free) do well protecting against malware.
I'm tempted to pay for Malwarebytes realtime, but they all have deficiencies...

I used to use AVG Free. I've just replaced it with Windows Defender.
To be honest, most commercial AV isn't going to stop the type of malware that comes from not doing questionable shit on the internet these days anyway.
*edit*
Windows Defender will also detonate files in the cloud if it doesn't have it's hash in their DB. Which is good considering that's where most enterprise products are going these days (PAN's Traps and the like).

Windows 10 is spyware.
Keep your data backed up on external storage. When the machine gets wonky, because it will regardless of whether it is infected or Microsoft decides to patch it with some delightful nag ware, dump the OS and load Linux.
