Avast+Malwarebytes combo offers enhanced protection against malware and threats.
Bitdefender offers free protection along with Malwarebytes for enhanced security.
It’s not worthwhile investing in AV protection; the free options perform equally well. For the top free choices I’d recommend Bitdefender, Kaspersky, or Avira (I personally use Avira with Malwarebytes).
It appears recent information has emerged regarding Microsoft security updates. Be sure to check the latest resources for guidance.
