When I had no anti-virus software I just use Windows Defender and Malwarebytes which done the job well.

For anti-virus software, I've used both Norton and Avast. People say Norton is shit but the program it self is over protective which I found was a good thing. I've been using avast for a couple of months now and so far its been decent.

Malwarebytes is for malware, you should get a antivirus.
