Windows Defender (Win8 and Win10) does a fine job, and it comes with
Windows (no extra expense). For Win7, Microsoft Security Essentials
(also free, but you have to download it) is also very good.
Use those tools as well as some good common sense - don't click on links
in emails unless you know them to be safe, and do not listen to that
phone call supposedly from Microsoft telling you that your computer is
causing problems on the internet.
I got one of those calls 2 days ago, and when I asked him to identify
the IP address of my 8 computers connected to the internet was causing
the problem, he said "just hang up"!

It almost takes smashing the computer to kill it.

Dumped Norton many years ago. It's nearly a virus itself. Haven't seen a
replacement suggested yet, so.. I've been very happy with NOD32. It's around
$30/yr, not the cheapest, but hasn't let me down. Have also heard good
reviews of Avast which is (used to be?) free.
