If you stay away from sketchy sites and don’t click every link that says “DOWNLOAD NOW”, Windows Defender and a web browser with ad-blockers should do their job well enough.

And if you buy a pc with windows preinstalled, remove any anti virus software free trial bullshit that cones with it. Just use Wondows defender as it is already enough for most use cases

Better yet, format Windows when you buy a new pc.
You can download a clean iso directly from Microsoft.
