I still recommend Microsoft’s free Windows Defender or Microsoft Security Essentials anti-virus/anti-malware applications (depending on Windows OS version) for most family and friends.
When coupled with a layered security approach for Windows systems it is a free and satisfactory solution for most users.
Microsoft has recently added a few new tricks to Windows Defender. These are good to be familiar with.
Note that the PUA feature seems to only work with Windows 10 OS versions – and not Windows 7 or 8.
