Sandboxie.
If what you are looking for is something to stop viruses a Sandbox web browser stops everything.
Antiviruses analyze files for viruses and at best find about 80-90%. That's why you will eventually sooner or later get a virus. It's no longer a matter of if you will get a virus from using an antivirus it's a matter of when you will get it there are just too many viruses on the internet for one single antivirus to protect you if you don't believe me look at all the people here on the security section with antiviruses and infected computers. Sandboxie is a free program and it's basically like a virtual condom for a web browser it stops everything, period, something the industry does not want you to know because they cannot make profit on this because it's totally free. It was developed years ago and now many security programs are using this better protection method. I've been using it for many years, go on infected web sites with tonnes of viruses and I don't even break a sweat. Its like a virtual transparent wall between the outside world and my computer nothing gets in.
The best free antivirus is Avast. It checks your email, web sites, router, browser etc. It has a Sandbox app but it's an extra charge and it's not comparable to sandboxie. The best feature of Avast is their free banking web browser. This browser is isolated from your computer so if you had a malicious keylogger it cannot see you entering your bank or any other passwords. Stops hackers stealing your info. I use this since I got rid of norton ten years ago

Several computer magazines I read have recently tested various AV packages. Avast came out on top for free packages and Kaspersky won the vote for a paid-for package in all the magazines.

Microsoft Windows Defender and Security Essentials came out as the least effective.

I hope this helps.
