Avast but keep it updated, if it gets old virus get in very easily.

I switched to using Avira after using AVG for years - the computer seems to be a lot quicker when starting up windows and updates / scans quicker too.

Any of those 3 will do you fine and be a vast improvement on AVG from a reliability perspective
