Personally I'd install Avast but have a look at these comparisons........

Avast has been my choice for all OS's for the past few years.

While you're at it jbljohn obtain Malwarebytes, the link for it is in rshaffer61's signature.

MBAM though not a AV it is good to run it once a week to check for infections that may have slipped by Avast. Doesn't happen often but it is another line of defense. I highly recommend it also.

Windows 8 includes Windows Defender (essentially, Microsoft Security Essentials), so unless you feel that it's not doing the job, there's really no need to install another antivirus program. More information.
