Some good number of years ago I used AVG free. When I came back from holiday, I had a surprise. A bad one. AVG was not updated for long time (obviously) and couldn't connect to get the latest signatures. So it turned off the entire protection(!!).
Since then I use Comodo.
To protect your coins, just keep small amount at hand and the rest can stay on paper wallets. And if you generate and print 1000 of them, a hacker/virus will hardly be able to keep track...

You really need to use a decent firewall in addition to antivirus. Comodo firewall is good if you know how to configure it. For antivirus Avira or Avast are good.

That's a pretty good combination, but if you are not happy with it you might wanna take a look at NOD32.

The best form of peace-of-mind protection is loading your wallets onto an unused USB device, never connected to your machine unless you are transferring coins ~ AKA Offline storage.

I am now using malwarebytes and avg antivirus.
These two softwares are good to protect your crypto and proven adequate, as the other one suggested here you might as well try avast.

Avast? Seriously? The last few versions are becoming increasingly annoying.
Just have your mass wallets on linux cold storage. Connect every once in a while to recharge your live wallets and be done with it.
