    Hello there,

    Microsoft Defender is a good enough option for basic antivirus protection. It has a very strong firewall and a good number of features for the program and device security.

    Microsoft’s Windows Defender provides decent cloud-based malware detection 100% free of charge

    Enable and configure Microsoft Defender Antivirus https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/configure-real-time-protection-microsoft-defender-antivirus?view=o365-worldwide

    Hope this resolves your Query !!
