Try ClamWin - open source and free. I use it on Windows, and the ClamAV version for my Linux systems.

I would suggest taking a look at the AV-TEST results before making any decisions on AV suites. Also, none of these solutions will save you from the most virulent of threats; the user.

I tend to advise businesses, of any size, that without user awareness training they may as well save the security money and admit defeat.

Good security is a process.

That said, for consumer Windows users I currently veer towards a combination of Kaspersky (test results are rock solid) with Malwarebytes Premium adding a second layer of defence. That's before I start to bang on about ensuring good password security (KeePass is a good choice for secure local encrypted password storage) and to use the Two Factor Authenticaion (2FA - or more accurately in most cases 2FV - Two Factor Verification) option for every service that allows it. On the latter point I'd also recommend using a TOTP (Time-Limited One Time Passcode) generated by an authenticator app (Google Authenticator is free, fast and secure) rather than relying upon SMS which leaves itself open to some interesting man-in-the-middle and side-channel threats.

One more, SMADAV (From Indonesian) its the best antivirus in indonesia.
