Common sense is required no matter which AV program you use...
I had used MS Security Essentials and Windows Defender (on Win 8.1) but have recently switched over to Avast for all my systems. Like it so far and it has very good ratings.

As with most viruses and diseases, prophylactic protection is best, but the best

Avast Free is Lifehacker's favorite. It supplanted security essentials a year
