just don't click on stupid shit. most antiviruses are bloatware. use microsoft security essentials too. i think that works well.

MSE should be fine, but if your that paranoid try out AVG. I've heard good and bad things though.

Get something like AVG or Avast and install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

Avast is the best free one.

Un-select all the junk you don't need during installation though (software updater utility, grime-fighter, etc), and make sure to register or it will stop working in 30 days.

Seconded on MBAM as a supplemental scanner to run every so often. Buying the paid version OF MBAM for real-time protection is even worth it.

Avg is probably the best free anti virus, torrent the full version.

AVG is garbage. I can't even tell you how many viruses I've had to remove from machines that were running AVG. I guess they've improved slightly but Avast free is definitely better than AVG free, and if you're going to pay for one, bit-defender, NOD32, Kaspersky, Webroot, and several others are all superior to AVG paid.

Also, getting cracked antivirus software from a torrent site is probably not the best idea.

I prefer Avast over AVG but I have used both with success. You'll also want to have MalwareBytes.

I've been using MSE for about 4 years. Seems to do what it's expected to do...

Yeah, bit defender is one of the best paid ones I've used.

MSE/ Windows defender is enough if you use it along with common sense

unless you can't tell obvious fake links with .exe files in them, you won't get a virus from downloading from known file sharing sites and even torrents
