    Free, built in, up to date, and doesn't nag you every 20 seconds to upgrade to fix CRITICAL SYSTEM PROBLEMS which are just some files in your Recycling Bin and a few registry items you can fix with CCleaner.

    It's lightweight and has a "set it and forget it" mindset. It has no ads, it's reliable, the customer support is wonderful, and has fewer false positives than the other antiviruses I've tried in the past.
