I recently reinstalled Windows on my Surface Go using a USB drive as a safety measure. Now, I'm wondering how can I be sure that my tablet is completely free of any rootkits or malware? What antivirus options would you recommend?

I’d suggest trying Defender's offline scan feature; it's designed to catch persistent malware. Some people also recommend HitmanPro for a second opinion. Have you checked how your scans are performing?
Windows Defender is actually pretty effective for most users. It offers built-in protection and is free! Just keep it updated and you should be good to go.
I ran an offline scan, but when I checked the detection history, it showed no recent actions. Is that normal?
