Depends many needing window based applications and software will opt for the Windows version. For others the Android suffices for their needs. Neither is Better as it's comparing Apples (mind the Pun) & Oranges kind of thing.

It's up to you to define your needs and determine which is for you.

As to antivirus yes both platforms are prone to virus,trojans and malware. At the present there is more on the windows platform. But more are showing up on android platforms as they are becoming popular to own.

I would suggest that most experts don't feel there is a competitive windows tablet at this time. Android and Apple tablets are based on processor families first used in smart phones, with less massive programs. Windows phones have not been a huge success. Intel is planning new processors aimed at phones and tablets and Microsoft is expected to introduce an OS with less overhead that phones and tablets that do not have the processor and memory to handle Windows, at least with acceptable battery life.
