And what about if not paid?
What do you mean by "ready to pay"?

how do i stop tinywall from blocking eset antivirus-ever since i installed tinywall i am not being able to update eset as tinywall is preventing it from accessing the internet-which processes/files should i specifically unblock to ensure that eset can update itself normally?
You have to ask at eset forums because these AVs keeps adding/removing processes that require net access for updating themselves.The below thread is old but it may work:
Windows 7 firewall, NOD32 can't update
Windows 7 firewall, NOD32 can't update

^thanks,i added ekrn.exe to the exceptions list but eset's update function was still not working-then i randomly added a few other exe files to the exceptions list from eset's installation dir(namely callmsi.exe,ecomserver.exe and eecInt.exe)and that seems to have resolved this issue(i noticed that update began working shortly after i unblocked callmsi.exe,so it can be surmised that perhaps this executable somehow controls the update process ).
Maybe but usually it is a combination of 2 or more services that controls update process now-a-days in many softwares.

Protection Type: Antivirus, Antimalware
Ratings out of 5.

It's perhaps the lightest decent security suite you'll ever find. Even if it's barebones, it should suffice for generic use.

According to av-comparatives real world protection test for Aug 2017,MS Windows Defender 4.11 scored 98.7% blocked & 1.3% user dependent which effectively means that if user chose correctly then protection would have been 100% which is very good for a MS product.

Was using Microsoft Security Essentials in xp and 7 and now Windows Defender. Really you don't need to speed money for av's.

@whitestar_999 , what free antivirus should I use? Other than Windows Defender.
See my previous post above,win 10+win defender 4.11 is good enough now.Installing more than 1 AV software is neither recommended nor needed for a typical user.Avira Free is a good option for those not using win 10 or don't want to run win defender on win 10.
Yes,but the question is do you really need an AV at all.I am using avira free because I am not using win 10 & because I sometimes open some ad-infested websites.If you are on win 10 using latest windows security updates with win defender & browse cautiously/safely then no need for an AV.If you still feel the need then try avira free for a few days to see how it perform on your system.

Try Kaspersky Free version (yes, they have it now)
It is officially in Russian/Chinese only & one needs to do some hack to use english in GUI.Why go through so many steps instead of just using a full fledged official english version free av like Avira or Avast,both are quite good.In fact the latest AV comparative test shows that latest windows defender on win 10 is as good & maybe even better than Avast & Avira(link in my post on previous page).

I installed it on my dad's laptop on last Saturday and it is indeed in English officially.
Ok!I somehow missed the latest kaspresky free thread on wilders forum & instead saw the old thread but a google search revealed that official english version was launched for India in late September.As per wilders thread it is good with some minor issues but since I am used to avira free I think I will keep continuing it as its protection rate is also similar to kaspersky.For 1st time free AV users though kaspersky free is a nice option now along with avira & avast.

Link to any mention in virustotal and av-comparatives reports? If not, why are you recommending it?
