Refer to this thread. I used to use Avast but now I only have Malewarebytes....and it really hasn't been of much use. Common sense is your best defense, if you know what you are doing you don't need an AV

Malwarebytes for sure, I also use Avira sometimes. Like Lucid said though, it comes down to just having common sense. I never have any problems on my computer, and I rarely ever use my AV software. Keep your wits about you, don't be too trusting, and you will make it out alive.
