MSE is all you really need. The bigger threat these days is malware. Malwarebytes comes to mind as one of the best for that.

But if you're technically incline there's always free Avast. For paid versions there's Nod32 and Bitdefender.

Avoid crap like Norton, Mcafee, and Symantec like the plague. Unless you're over 80, still have an active AOL subscription on top of your cable internet, or use internet explorer. Then... Well... Nothing is going to change your mind.

By far the best option is one of the freebies from Microsoft.

If you're using Windows 7 that will be Microsoft Security Essentials. If you're using Windows 8 the name has changed to Windows Defender.

It may be that the name will change again at the end of this month when W10 is released.

I've been using them for several years now and never had a problem. There is absolutely NO need to pay for anti-virus software any more.

Then you already have Windows Defender on your computer. It may not be activated if you haven't turned it on, but it's there.
Go to your Start screen and type in "Defender" (you don't need a search box on that screen, just type) and it will bring up a link to Windows Defender.
You'll need to uninstall any other AV software you have before activating Defender or you'll create problems.
If it hasn't been operating make sure you do a search for updates before you go browsing the web.
