I currently use this one.

I'm testing this one on another pc. So far it seems to work well.

You should only have one real time antivirus scanner active. If you install
more than one antivirus make sure one is in passive mode.

We use the corporate version of AVG. For home use there's a free version at:

Also heard good reports of NOD32 and Trend Micro.

Avoid like the Plague of the Ori: Norton.

Also note that few AV products detect spyware, which is a bigger problem
than viruses these days. Thus you need a spyware-scanner too, such as

The OP asked for "Good" not poor quality and Windows Defender is anti spyware, not anti
virus !

The *best* are NOD32 and Kaspersky.
