I use Ad-Aware and Windows Defender. There seems to be a stigma against the Microsoft tool (Defender), but I've found to be a pretty good alternative to the 3rd party stuff.

I've never had a need for a real-time scanner, so having a program bog my system down wasn't an issue. Just run the scanner once a week and you should be fine.
