Best Virus Protection Software

Avast sells user data. https://www.cnet.com/news/antivirus-firm-avast-is-reportedly-selling-users-web-browsing-data/
Users can opt out from sending any data to Avast from Avast Free Personal Privacy tab.
 
Windows 10 defender + Malwarebytes free + when is needed use useful software from bleepingcomputer site like AdwCleaner, ComboFix, Junkware Removal Tool etc.

For Linux/MAC I recommend ClamAV (free and open-source).

Don't use paid antivirus software, they sells your data and all of the big antivirus software like kaspersky bitdefender etc. are made by guys from secret service.
 
If you're a decent computer user (don't download random stuff or click crazy links) then the standard Windows protection is fine. If you feel you need more, then Eset is just about the best you can get.

Keep clear of Norton!
 
Why is Norton so bad?
Probably it's not that bad, it's just that it's not as popular as once it was. I remember my first PC came pre-installed with Norton Internet Security ~20 years ago. The only thing i couldn't forget about it to this day, that it was a resource hog. :)
 
Malwarebytes you can use their trial every month just to check your PC and clean it.
