I used to use commercial antivirus products like McAfee and Norton and Trend Micro etc. I went with Avast Home for free. I scan with Emisoft Emergency Kit because it can fit on a USB drive and be portable.
No matter what you do eventually you will get infected by some exploit. Be it Flash, Java, some pop-up ad, or just an email sent to your email client that exploits it.
I got a lawyer still runs XP and Vista and uses ClamAV because it is free. I worry that her systems might be infected, but her husband runs the tech support for their firm. She used to have employees steal data via floppy disks, and these days a simple virus infection can steal data.

Scary. Small law firms are a prime target for cryptolocker-type attacks. In that case you need a solid backup / restore system.
At first my lawyer offered me a job to help with computers. But later said no because her husband takes care of the computers and has to do it a certain way.
I don't know how they are set up for backups. I only know they use XP and Vista and ClamAV looking at their desktops.
