Looking for a good, decently lightweight and free security solution for my windows 10 PC.

Right now, I Am using BitDefender Free Edition alongside with VoodooShield. As for second opinion scanners, I have Emsisoft Emergency kit, Zemana Anti-Malware and MalwareBytes installed.
I was thinking of maybe switching the current AV to something else, maybe replace VoodooShield with SecureAPlus.
Do you guys think a change is needed to be done, or is it fine the way it is?
If theres a change to be done, please specify the replaced programs and the replacing program.
Thanks.

Although you use a Standard user account, you had a security-related incident recently. You have no Software Firewall to control in/outbound traffic, disabled Smartscreen in Windows 10, no form of data or system backup.

Please Edit Thread to reflect the following:
  • Bitdefender Free is your Real-time malware protection and does not need to be mentioned twice.
  • List Emsisoft Emergency Kit under Virus and Malware Removal Tools, and if free versions, also Zemana Anti-Malware and Malwarebytes.
