Malwarebytes is not an antivirus but it does help them. Don't buy the program through their website, they changed the license terms to be an annual subscription instead of the lifetime versions they used to sell - if you can get a boxed version from a couple of years ago, the keys should still be valid. I bought one on clearance for $10 a few years back and it's still going.

I personally use Avast Free, after turning off all the unnecessary BS (firewall and browser "protection".) It does its job OK, it should be enough for most normal users.
