>All versions of Windows since Windows 7 come with built-in or freely downloadable antivirus. It's called Windows Defender in Windows 10. Those of my clients using it have not been infected (to anyone's knowledge, FWIW). The built-in Microsoft product seems to be fairly low on resource use and is not intrusive in normal usage.

Al, how many of your client computers running Defender software has caught viruses i.e. recognized and quarantined viruses? What has the detection rate been like? Would the detected items have posed a real threat? i.e. I get occasional emails with virus-infected attachments but I would never open them anyway.

Personally I like ESET Smart Security but I don't use the AV, I use only the firewall. For AV I would recommend what I think is the most thorough AV out there; Emsisoft - https://www.emsisoft.com/en/ (although I don't use it in real-time mode, just weekly or monthly scans). Malwarebytes also comes recommended but again I run it manually on a schedule.
