If you’re using Windows 10 DO NOT INSTALL ANTIVIRUS! Microsoft’s Defender suite is MUCH better than any third party antivirus, and since it’s integrated with the OS, Microsoft maintains it.

Several articles have been written about attackers using third party antivirus to compromise systems, because newer attack vectors know what’s compromised in those antivirus products. It’s just another product you have to maintain. Stick with Defender. It’s solid.

Uninstall ANY antivirus you have on your system and configure Defender to protect you.

"If you’re using Windows 10 DO NOT INSTALL ANTIVIRUS!"

I second that. I've used Windows standard stuff for more than a decade, and never have had a problem with it.
