    There does not exist 1 security product which is THE best and which will catch each and every infection..

    Whenever you think that your computer might be infected you can run on-demand scans with some of the products listed here:

  3. McAffee and Emsisoft Anti Malware

    I personally use Emsisoft Anti-Malware and IMO it is far better than McAfee...

    If you decide to use Emsisoft, please make sure to fully uninstall McAfee with the help of their specific removal tool from this List
    of anti-malware product removal tools
    before you install Emsisoft.

    FYI:

    I've asked a moderator to remove the best buy link in your post. If you want to buy Emsisoft Anti Malware then it's best to go directly to their site: emsisoft.com

    Firewall, Anti-Virus, Malware Protection for Windows 10

    Windows 10 comes with Windows Defender. Is that all I need?

    What virus, firewall, or malware protection does Microsoft recommend we need for Windows 10 Ver 1709, beyond Defender? If any?
