Hi, you have Windows Defender Virus and Firewall and all is good. Product lists in Top 10.
You can improve things with showing hidden features that both have with these :
Virus : https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/configuredefender.html
Firewall : Note developer now employed by Malwarebytes thus colours https://www.binisoft.org/wfc
Can run Malwarebytes as a stand alone scanner to make sure of things,
But : https://www.howtogeek.com/230158/how-to-run-malwarebytes-alongside-another-antivirus/
Note : all of the above can be done in Windows if know how. (sorta)
