I have been using nothing for 12 years and have been clean.
All major free anti-virus (AV) packages that I'm aware use the same AV engine code base as their paid versions. You're getting the same AV protection, which is why I don't generally recommend the paid versions.
The difference being that the paid versions add additional security applications, or technical support. Many of which you can also get free by installing separate security apps.
