[QUOTE="goodjohnjr, post: 1011075, member: 73546"] For a free antivirus, you could use that antivirus, or you could use [URL='https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/stay-protected-with-windows-security-2ae0363d-0ada-c064-8b56-6a39afb6a963']Windows Security[/URL] set to Recommended settings by [URL='https://www.defenderui.com/']DefenderUI[/URL] instead, or you could use that antivirus along with Windows Security set to [URL='https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/limited-periodic-scanning-microsoft-defender-antivirus?view=o365-worldwide']Periodic Scanning mode[/URL] & set to Recommended settings by DefenderUI, which would give you a free antivirus and a free automatic second opinion antimalware scanner. For one-time payment ad / tracker / malicious website blocking at the operating system level you can keep [URL='https://adguard.com/en/adguard-windows/overview.html']Adguard For Windows[/URL], get the lifetime license(s) when on sale like it often is on [URL='https://stacksocial.com/sales/adguard-family-plan-lifetime-subscription']StackSocial[/URL] et cetera, and install the free [URL='https://adguard.com/en/adguard-assistant/overview.html']Adguard Browser Assistant[/URL] in Brave Browser. For free web browser protection, you can use [URL='https://www.malwarebytes.com/browserguard']Malwarebytes Browser Guard[/URL] instead of Bitdefender TrafficLight, or use them together in Brave Browser; and make sure that your web browser's built-in security settings are turned on & up. For a free second (third) opinion on-demand antimalware scanner, you could use [URL='https://www.sophos.com/en-us/free-tools/virus-removal-tool']Sophos Scan & Clean[/URL] set to automatically scan at start-up using Windows Task Scheduler. For a free custom DNS with ad blocking & tracker blocking & malicious website blocking, you could use [URL='https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html']Adguard DNS Public Default or Family DNS servers[/URL] (in Adguard For Windows and / or Brave Browser and / or your Router et cetera).
