Windows 10: Can't sign in to microsoft account because of my anti virus

I can't sign in to microsft on my windows 10 pc. I know it's my antivirus. I've tried allowing microsoft.com, live.com. What website or address does microsoft use so I add it to my antivirus so that it allows it?

:)

 

what is the best free anti virus software listed on microsoft site

I guess you are talking about this list:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/18900/consumer-antivirus-software-providers-for-windows


There does not exist THE best free antivirus product.

Personally, I use and recommend switching to a paid antivirus product on Windows 7.

Be careful what you buy (hopefully you didn't pay for any obscure antivirus product...) and especially from which sites.........
