Stop porn/suspecious link, downloading softwares/files from not certified sources, avoid ads, beware to output storage devices.
Now, from my experience what can I say? After having tested AVAST/AVG/Avira/Kapersky/Norton and Windows defender (yes for fun), I had to conclude that;
AVAST: Not bad, I was strongly surprised with the ease of use. Great one but the voice make me uninstall it lol (jk)! (CPU ressources needed: on average: <16000< to >80000ko)
AVG: When you know that this antivirus use ads to promote itself while the installation. NO NO and NO, I deeply disadvise it! Even after uninstallation it keep some ads from your registry base. (CPU ressources needed: on average: <17000< to =>120000ko).
Avira: You feel really protected by it's real time protection, you can see the details and IP of the threats too. You must know that even if you aren't browsing on the internet, you can receive attacks and Avira always notify it. It need ressources if you enable the R.T.P., as I have a "very" old PC I decided to uninstalled it by regrets... (CPU ressources needed: on average: <8000< to =<75000ko).
Kapersky: A real reputation of safety and performance, it's the best as "paid antivirus" (CPU ressource needed: <7000< to =<80000ko).
Norton: Good reputation, but the numbers of plugins and updates make me crazy! I uninstalled it by pleasure! (CPU ressources needed: on average <34000> to >200000ko) and yes, he's the winner of <<the most ressource needed>> kkk.
Windows defender: Only for analyse and to try removing some viruses passing though lawl, it's fragile but it don't use much of ressource at least. (CPU ressources needed: on average <4000 to =<8000ko), yes he's the winner of <<less ressource needed>> lmao.
Conclusion: Avira for "free" antivirus and Kapersky for "paid" antivirus!
Anyway, the best FREE antivirus tested by laboratory still Avira Free Antivirus...
And as PAID antivirus, the best stay Kapersky ofc.
We have also Bitdefender which focus at "all-in-one" services but Kapersky still one of the most effective on the recent threats.
What can I advice?
Use Adblock+Malwarebyte as tool and if you have to go at suspecious website, install a free (Avira) or a paying (Kapersky) antivirus. Don't forget to analyse your computer every week'z and feel free to argue about the ressource needed, these numbers are from 2004 to 2012 source (in my fking oldy pc's).
