When I had a Windows box (it's been ~5 years) I used the free Microsoft thing. I think there were a couple of different names including Defender and Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. It had been MANY years (at least a decade) since I used anything else. If I was still running Windows, I'd probably still be using the microsoft stuff.
If you are running windows, another possibility would be to not have your usual login have admin permissions natively. Have a separate login for full admin permissions. I'd hope that by now, Windows allows you to elevate your permissions when required. That makes it a lot harder for a lot of bad stuff to happen.
