Avast.
I would switch to Avira but from what I remember you need to keep a toolbar in your browser to have the shield enabled or something like that which is a no go for me.

Right now I'm using Avast Pro that was posted in a previous post here.. free is good and Avast is a good AV.. again IMO.

And this is one of the reasons I use Defender with Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit for extra(Zero-Day) protection, I also turn JAVA on "only" when it's needed, and set Flash player always "Click to Play". And of course Tracking Protection in IE 11. I only have add-ons I need at the moment turned on, and with IE 11 I have the ability to set everything on a site for site basis(most people don't know that). I surf fast and light and very safe, without any overkill.
My setup (in W8.1) is almost identical to that employed by Cliff. In addition to the above I also have Malwarebytes Premium (the paid version) and IE SmartScreen Filter. For surfing I use the IE InPrivate option and DuckDuckGo search engine.
In the past (XP, Vista, W7) I have used Trend Micro; Kaspersky; Avast and AVG. Although all of these products are "good" in their own right I cannot find an economic justification to pay for the paid-for version or to burden the system with the additional footprint and overhead of either the paid-for or free versions. The perceived benefits of these products do not, in my view (which could be wrong) justify installing them.

360 Total Security works well, if anyone is still looking for a free A/V for Win 10 TP.
I am using Avast + Comodo + Malwarebytes for windows 10 build 10166. Also ran MVPS HOSTS. Total lock down. It works beautifully.
