Sandboxie which I recommend. http://www.sandboxie.com/
You could also use a Virtual Machine (VM) if you want, any virus you run on that VM won't be able to escape/leak to your main hard drive so you will stay safe.
Note: Using only an anti-virus won't and will never keep you safe 100%. So don't blindly run any program thinking that your AV is the heaven-dropped tool that will keep you safe from any threat on the internet.

Also could you share your safety setup? Like the programs you have to keep yourself safe from virus, keyloggers etc etc.
