AV are pointless. They don't protect you from what needs protecting. They will never find new viruses because the are not preventative but reactive.
My suggestion. Get a good non-active anti-malware. (Malwarebytes). Scan before you shut down your computer for the night.
I suggest you look in creating a fresh install and get everything how you like your computer. Then image that drive. Every 3-6 months just wipe the drive and restore the image.
You will never have to really worry about viruses and the intrusiveness of anti-virus programs.
