You're going to get a wide variety of responses to this question. There are many people with differing opinions.

You should specify if you're asking about free or paid software.

If you're looking for free software, I would strongly recommend Avast free or Microsoft security essentials. They are both linked in the malware guide in my signature.

If you're looking for a paid suite, I would recommend Trend Micro or Kaspersky.

Avg is fine but I wouldn't recommend using Cnet. I think they started adding their own junkware into their downloads.

Gdata Internet Security for a paid solution.
Avast for a free solution.

* Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free

Download and use this with Avast.It's an on demand malware scanner you can use that won't conflict with Avast.

I am really convinced with your knowledge and answers and want to ask more questions.
Q.No.1:As I don't have internet connection in my office so please tell me links to download latest definitions for Avast and Malwarebytes?
Q.No.2:If I only use Malwarebytes in my PC then it is OK or not as you are saying install both Avast and Malwarebytes.Is Malwarebytes not enough?
Q.No.3:What limitations free editions of Antiviruses have.Is it ENOUGH to use free edition of an antivirus in PC?

Use Malwarebytes and Avast.
