I’ve had Malwarebytes for years on my personal windows pc and it’s up for renewal. Is Defender sufficient or something else cheaper but better? My default is to cancel.

      And also windows defender. Both are free (as in beer) and effective enough if you aren’t just running any random crap you get from the internet.

      clamav is an option but, if you get to the point of thinking about clam, I would pull the storage device and scan with clam on a known clean machine (cuz you never know what a nasty may have done to the victim PCs EFI / bootchainI)
