  • +1 For Avast(free) and MBAM(free) I can also recommend looking at Sandboxie http://www.sandboxie.com/

    I am using Avira Free and it can have web protection but not email, if you allow the toolbar install. I don't like toolbars as a rule, but because I use Sandboxie I can disable the toolbar in the Sandbox without affecting the internet protection provided by Avira.

    The only downside to Avira is the pop up after updates but that is a small price to pay. The best protection for free.

    You can get rid of that pop-up (and the annoying American woman's voice) in the settings (something to do with notifications, but I can't remember exactly where).

    I'm also using Avira.

    Any posts are my opinion and only that. Please read at your own risk.

    The top two free AVs are Avira and Avast.

    Any one of the above used with Malwarebytes is a good combination.
