That's really a matter of opinion as to which vendor is best. You can try the various free versions or purchase a bigger name vendor.
You have to remember if you have antivirus installed and completely up to date you can still get infected with a virus/spyware. You need to also put in some type of firewall, spyware protection and keep your programs up to date with their patches. Not only microsoft patches but other applications as well.. these are all attack vectors.
Two free antivirus applications are
AVG and Avast both are good. Avast requires registration that will allow for updates for one year. After that you just have to re-register to get new key.
