Windows
For Windows users Microsoft has now provided Microsoft Security Essentials - this integrates fully with your computer to provide antivirus and firewall protection. Updates are fully automated and included with Microsoft Updates for your computer.
With Windows 10, Windows Defender is fully integrated and works seamlessly to keep your system secured. For home users, we certainly wouldn't recommend paying for additional secuirty software, or installing another free 3rd party tool.
Mac
Unfortunately, now that Mac is becoming increasingly popular, it is highly recommended to install antivirus protection. We can recommend Sophos, and the fact it is 100% free is just another bonus.
