For Windows 8 and up, Windows Defender is a more complete anti-malware solution, which includes various malware, spyware, virus, whatever the infosec community feels like calling it that day. Has real-time protection as well. It works pretty well. It won't save you if you click on every "Download here!" button you see, but no A/V system can save you there.
Also, make sure you have the 64 bit version of the Visual Studio 2015 runtimes installed

Yes, that's a good point. I uninstalled my antivirus for a different reason. It was coincidental that it solved my problem with Retroach. I had edited my post to mention disabling the antivirus so the OP wouldn't think I was suggesting getting rid of it completely.
