recommended antivirus?

I just got my computer today and i dont know what kind of antivirus software i should get. ive been using a mac the past couple of years so im a bit out of the loop on whats out there. im mainly going to use the computer to play games off steam but I want some sort of security to be safe. i also heard to stay away from norton antivirus.

I've never gotten a virus with Windows 7 + MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials). The biggest defence you have against viruses is yourself. If you go looking for them, you'll get them.C_Rule

I use Comodo Internet security for Defense+, sandbox, and firewall and Panda Cloud for antivirus.

In browser I use AdBlock Plus, Web of Trust, and NoScript.

I've been using Avira, probably gonna switch soon since I have the free version and get the occasional ad from it, not really a problem but eh. One time I had it off for like 2 months, didn't even notice it. Viruses aren't a big deal unless you have no idea how to internet

Just cleared 4 viruses off a laptop with norton on, norton was running like crap as well. If you're gonna pay, don't go norton.

I'm happy with MSE and occasional scans with malwarebytes.
