I just did a search for "best antivirus 2016" and got a lot of hits. These are a couple of them.

EDIT: Don't know what's going one, but my copy and paste of the links isn't working. Just highlight them, right click and select open link.

Norton is not a free anti-virus. Some people like it and some people don't.

One thing to check when downloading free "protection" is if the product provides active protection. Several free or trial versions are scan or on-demand only; they don't monitor incoming data.
“A world is supported by four things: The learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the righteous and the valor of the brave. But all of these things are as nothing, without a ruler who knows the art of ruling. Make that the science of your tradition!”

Avast monitors in real time , & almost always scores rather highly on sites such as AV-Test & AV Comparatives . Avira is another free antivirus that monitors in real time . Comodo has a free security suite (Antivirus & Firewall) that monitor in real time . Comodo has the best free firewall available , bar none , & is better than most paid firewalls . Comodo is more for an advanced user , but novices can figure it out with a bit of time on their side . I am one of those that loathe anything Symantec (Norton). Zone Alarm has a free security suite that monitors in real time . The antivirus part is powered by Kaspersky . In the end though , a computer is only as secure as the person behind the keyboard .
