I'm currently using McAfee, but I've heard it's not great. I'm looking for recommendations for antivirus software, whether it's free or paid. What do you suggest?

Yeah, I'd recommend Windows Defender too. It's built right into Windows, so you know it’s reliable. Plus, Microsoft knows a thing or two about security, so why risk third-party apps?
Windows Defender is solid. Most paid antivirus programs, like McAfee and Norton, can actually be questionable at times. Defender is robust enough for most users without the extra cost.
I'd stick with Windows Defender. When it comes to antivirus, less can be more, and Defender usually covers all the basics without the bloat of some paid options
The best antivirus can change from year to year based on reviews. I personally use the free version of AVG along with a custom hosts file, and it's been working well for me.
Honestly, Windows Defender is a great choice! It's free with Windows, super easy to use, and doesn't interfere much with your day-to-day activities. Just works in the background without causing any problems.
Totally agree with you on that!
