BitDefender Free is pretty much install and forget it. Also, top rated for AV protection. Has very few options or settings, so ideal for the minimalist. As opposed to Microsoft Defender (aka MS Security Essentials), which has consistently rated at the bottom for protection for years now according to the top four independent security testing labs.
BitDefender was also one of the few major AV packages that didn't have vulnerabilities in its code base, that some of the top "paid" AV packages were found to possess, potentially making it more of a risk to have them installed than nothing at all.
