For my Win machine, I've resorted to just use Windows Defender as my anti-virus, anti-malware and firewall protection.
I used to swear by Malware bytes (MB). But I had a couple of issues with Malware bytes. First, MB was a bit too aggressive, flagging some programs as threats which I do use. Second, and the deal breaker for me is every so often, the free version gets updated to a free trial of the paid version, then comes the nags to buy.
MB is not alone. The nagging (also from Panda, Sophos) to subscribe to a paid version is almost as disruptive as getting a virus .
Thus, I've decided to just stick with Windows Defender as no nags. But still hope I'm not leaving my machine open to threats not flagged .
