    New to Windows, looking for antivirus


    As the title says, I am new to Windows. Switched from the great Apple lol, but I really need a good antivirus software and am not sure which to get. All my friends have told me Bitdefender and Malwarebytes are all I need, but I prob trust you guys more haha. So, do you all agree or think I should go with others? Any help is appreciated, thank you!

    Good Antivirus + Firewall

    I would never put anything Norton on my computer.

    Nod32 is arguably the best antivirus. AVG is likely not as good, but it's free and at least pretty good.

    Firewalls, I'd put Comodo and whatever "Tiny Personal Firewall" is named nowadays on your short list. I think Kerio might have sold it now and it's named something else. Otherwise, just put Comodo on your short list. I think the current version's ease of use has taken a step backwards, seems a bit counter-intuitive when trying to do certain things with it, but overall it does a good job and the price is right.
