MS includes one with Windows. Doesn't hurt to have MalwareBytes too but that costs.

Norton has worked for me and it will do a great job of it
Or total AV is my second placer lots of cool features (both cost money)
But total av is free but features are limited

Bit Defender and malware bytes are among the best.

But I'm going to be honest with you, the free stuff isn't as good as the paid stuff. The paid versions contain more features which more actively protect your system. The free stuff may keep you from sketchy sites, avoid TLS 1.0, and catch most virus attacks, but lack advanced remediation routines.

Paid software contain advanced features like encryption lockers and protected files to protect against advanced system changes and ransomware. So if a new virus comes out, and the first level of defense fails, the paid versions have additional backups to protect you.

PS: Some "Free Versions" also might sell your personal behavior and email addresses. This is one revenue stream to keep "free" going. So read the terms of service CAREFULLY.

You know the saying "You get what you pay for."

I dont believe so. The paid version i know will put you in a secure browser without add ons if you visit banking sites.

I use 360 Total Security for years and I'm not complaining. It's a Chinese company antivirus and some people look at it with suspecions, but I'm personally satisfied with this antivirus and been using it for years. Comes with anti-ransomeware as well.
