Microsoft Defender, Malwarebytes and common sense are all you need.

Never EVER install McAfee. It's bloated crap that cannot catch anything.

No amount of AV software can protect your pc if common sense to avoid dubious websites and don’t click on suspicious files, isn’t applied.
Just like MTF think fully vaxxed and boostered can open legs wide and VTL with everyone , without consequences.

AV is like the last resort

you should look into using ublock origin, adguard all these are your second line of defence

the first line of defence, is your own common sense

I still don’t understand why a lot of big organizations use McAfee Endpoint Protection. Chrome and Teams already so bloated and still have to run McAfee in the background.
