Fellow pirates, does anyone have any good antivirus recommendations? Looking to get one but I’m not too sure which one is legit and not just a bunch of bloatware. Thanks in advance
None.
Have a good backup strategy and nuke the OS/restore data from backup when needed.
I wouldn’t trust any antivirus to clean everything properly after my machine has been infected.
Windows Defender.

If for Windows which I think it is then I highly recommend you to check The PC Security Channel, I have always recommended everyone to use a 3rd party AV but now with my ESET internet security subscription about to end in a month I’m planning to give a windows defender a go
Windows Defender, everything else is malware itself.
If you want to be extra sure, check stuff using virustotal.com
