I haven't had the best experience with Kaspersky, which expires tomorrow and would appreciate other antivirus/malware, etc products.
 
Thank You

I have used Avast for years on all of my home and office machines in conjunction with Spybot Search and Destroy.

I've had not problems with the free version of http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage  The last time I read any tests or reviews of free AV, this was rated pretty high. Not as high as Kaspersky but not as difficult to setup/maintain either.

Do you use the free editions of Avast and Spybot?

Free Spybot, pay for Avast.

Panda cloud,
I have the free version. Maybe because I have an English language PC and live in France but I have had only one serious attack and that was  from ransomware. I phoned my Dutch mate who is an IT man who told me that there was free software available on the net to deal with it.
 
However the next time I logged on Panda zapped it and 2 E cards supposedly from My partner's friends - they were'nt and they got zapped as well. No problems at all running Panda and that's over 3 years now. I may shell out for the pro version.

A google search showed various products which received high marks from PCMag and Top 10 reviews.
Webroot, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Norton and a few others. I don't know how credible the sources are since I've had poor experiences with Kaspersky.
 
Panda Cloud does sound good.

Microsoft Security Essentials is excellent. Avast is also very good.

I went with MSE since it's specifically for Windows and also has excellent reviews.

Not a bad idea to also install Malwarebytes and do an on-demand scan once in a while....I probably run one every other week or so.

I'm pretty happy with Norton Internet Security.  It's not resource heavy.

Are we talking about a Microsoft product here?? 

 
I use Bitdefender, runs very quiet, you barely know it's there.

I use Unthreat Antivirus and I like it. It's easy to use and doesn't slow down my computer while running which is a plus in my book! I use it with my Windows 7 and it works perfectly.
