I hope this helps you. I did alot of research to find out which ones were the best, before I put them on my pc. Thought I'd pass them on to you, (Please know that I wouldn't pass any program onto to anyone else, unless I've tried it and use myself first,and I fully trust on my own computer)

I just use Microsoft Defender, and occasionally check it with Spybot to make sure everything is still clean.
