Cheapest is not necessarily always the best
We need more free and open source antivirus programs: https://www.clamav.net/
I'd used housecall.antivirus.com via TrendMicro for a couple decades. Seems dead now. Seems like this is their thing now https://www.trendmicro.com/en_me/forHome/products/housecall.html Lately I've just been avoiding it all.
I use Malwarebytes: https://www.malwarebytes.com/ It is a free demo and times out, then after a while, it offers a discount on the pro version.
I'll never pay for it.
... is common sense.
but I doubt this matters much nowadays...
I have always used Windows and never got a virus myself because I am careful and scan for viruses before I run an installer. Most of my infections happened when someone else used my computer and was told in chat by a hacker to install programs.
