Antivirus recommendations

Since McAfee is going away.... do any of you have any recommendations for a free app?  Am I good with just using Microsoft Defender and some other spybot s&d type program?

  • Free AVG, Avast, Avira, Bit Defender, If you have windows, Windows defender is free, and actually, pretty good.  Trend Micro has a free offering as well as an online scan tool. 

    Honestly on my windows computer, I use the Windows defender, on my mac, I actually use Avast.
