Microsoft Defender comes built into Windows 10 and works well for most users. I’m not familiar with "Quick Heal Pro," but it seems like an outdated antivirus app from the early 2000s. I wouldn’t install that. For third-party protection, Sophos is a solid choice. I’ve relied on their free Home AV for years, especially since we use their paid version at work. Both platforms share similar definitions and don’t interfere much. https://home.sophos.com/en-us
Currently, antivirus tools often fall short and can be misleading, promoting fear rather than protection. Most users rely on built-in browser defenses and Windows updates to block threats, with MalwareBlast handling the rest. Getting infected these days is extremely rare unless you click suspicious links. I keep MalwareBlast on many family devices and strongly advise against opening messages from unknown senders or scam numbers. Streamers promoting Norton 360 or similar services should be viewed skeptically—they usually just aim to make money. It’s disappointing that so many still promote these products, much like those who push fake mobile game ads. Hopefully, more people will heed warnings about avoiding known scams and harmful software.
