AV software is one place not to skimp. Just remember the inconvenience you are currently going though and that you never get more than you have paid for!
The last batch of RansomWare derived from leaked NSA/CIA spyware tools spread in a day to hundreds of thousands of machines. It takes money to stay on top of every new malware release, to analyze it and release an update to identify, neutralize it fast.
A quick search on google, Bitdefender
Bitdefender is headquartered in Bucharest, Romania. My wife has worked for 3 big fortune500 companies, all had software development labs in Romania, that were chronically understaffed. They had a hard time finding decent (not exceptional) programmers and keeping them. As soon as they got any experience, they would leave for Germany. Romania is considered a low cost location in the EU....for a reason. (This is just the way it is, no offense to anyone from Romania and Romania is not the only east European country in this situation and in fact there are several others in much worse positions).
If you are concerned that Kasperky is Russian based.
Russian based, Kaspersky products run on over 450 million computers worldwide. Kaspersky has far to much to loose by playing any kind of "game". You can bet that it is clean. Kaspersky has also caught out several malwares that were almost definitely state sponsored, primarily in Iran, so you can guess which state(s) probably sponsored it and that is was highly sophisticated to prevent detection. The US government is clearly trying to demonize everything Russian right now (sore losers?)....no need to spell that out.
As I mentioned above, my wife worked to develop algorithms to find and suppress tolls, malware, adware, bots at mail.ru/moi.mir and in the process had to trace down suspected links.....some of the most infected sites you could imagine and Kaspersky always protected.
Also, as Shaggy pointed out, you should be using a firewall/router. Such routers though, will only protect you from infected machines probing for new victims. If you click on a link to an infected site, only AV software with up to date virus definitions can protect you.
