If you are running Windows, Windows Defender is a pretty decent antivirus. Just avoid having your calibre libraries in your Documents directory (search on Controlled Folder Access as to why that recommendation). Otherwise, you might want to check into the Sophos free version (Home Free, their Intercept-X product is nice but it has been suffering from feature bloat in the last while).

I would avoid Avast like a zombie plague carrier. It seems to generate the most reports of blocking calibre processes and/or reporting calibre as a Unknown Trojan. If nothing else, if something gets blocked, I would like a nice popup letting me know what has happened and why without having to locate a log file, if it exists, and digging through multiple pages of text that seems designed not to be read by the human eye.
