I've used avast for quite a while now and had no problems with it so thats my recommendation, also Microsoft essentials is really good of what i've heard.

Microsoft security essentials, don't bother with any other shit.
It's free and works better than anything else, and the definitions get updated as part of windows update.

Your Mcafees and AVGs are usually all you need. I tend to find if you know what your doing on your PC with regards to what Not to download, you're ok. Its when im fixing someone elses that i use MalwareBytes to flush ou any Extra shit that A-V's might not find.

+1, wouldn't bother with MSE.
Avast / AVG + CCleaner and superantispyware for general cleaning.
