McAfee made my disk usage hold at 98% the entire time. Currently using avast. Would prefer free but if Norton shills persuade me I'd buy it

If you can be assed to constantly fiddle with toggling websites to un-fuck them and their javascripty ways, noscript.

Kaspersky Internet Security with Trial Reset
All western security suites have backdoors for western agencies.
Kaspersky has for a Russian one.
And since you most likely live in the west, it's more secure to use the russian one than the western one.

Plus Kaspersky consistently has highest grades in all tests.

I got a free year Kaspersky 2013 license with my motherboard and it's been fine. I'll probably switch to MSE or Avast Free as soon as it expires.
And yes, there has been some times where the antivirus blocked some crap from torrents (adware inside the setup and what not)

except when http://googleprojectzero.blogspot.de/2015/09/kaspersky-mo-unpackers-mo-problems.html

All antivirus software is to be considered snakeoil as it gives the user a false sense of security. Only the most common malware will be detected as heuristic scans are until this day extremely simple and making any bytecode fully undetected by pattern scans is nearly as easy today as it was 10 years ago.
Just don't be retarded and you aboid 99.99% of all security threats. That means, deactivate plugins such as flash, don't run untrusted binaries and such basic shit. If someone is out to infect you personally, and if that someone is any good at what he does, then no software in the world will help you anyway.

Rant end. I'll go back into my basement now

That's simply bullshit study.
Like that one that antiviruses don't do anything and only increase attack surface.
Bullshit desu.
Propaganda so people would stop using them and the government could spy on you without any issues.
