For reliable FREE protection, I would recommend Windows Defender and advise the use of McAfee's WebAdvisor with it.

Depends on your country, outside the UK avira is good and fairly lightweight although the initial deep scan does take some time but is fun to see the update status of 'Luke Filewalker' show up.
Inside the UK BitDefender free.

Always a hard one to answer, I use Avast on this computer.

Guys can you please stop advising Avast. OP has stated he has this and wants to replace it.
