Good Anti-Virus Options.

[JP7PlaysMC]

Hello there!

I need some help deciding if I should or not use an Anti-Virus (and which one).
I don't really do much that'd put my PC in danger and I'm currently running a combo of MalwareBytes with Windows 8.1s default AV (Windows Defender).

Should I uninstall Windows Defender and use other AV, or is this enough protection?

P.S. I also have CCleaner and I'm thinking about getting SandBoxie, what do you think?

Use Avast or Bitdefender Free , the are both better than the Windows protection.

Avast is the best free AV program, Bitdefender and Kaspersky Lab are the best subscription-based AV programs and most effective overall.

Ok then, so, from the replies I got, I shall indeed replace Windows Defender. I've got a dilemma in my hands though:
My ISP offers a free AV key with their service. Said licence is for Panda AV Pro 2015.

Should I go with any of the previous stated options instead or go with this one?

Go with Avast.

Go with Avast.

Thanks for the input.

I'm open to any more suggestions.

Dr.Web, Avast and Kaspersky are the best security options.
