We just took our first step and cancelled Netflix! It's a small thing compared to some of you, but we're here to stay! Becoming more and more aware and striving to buy European!

Another thing is virustotal is a good site for scanning programs before running it, since it'll scan it with every possible virus scanner available.

Windows defender and browsing the web with something ublock origin to block ads is sufficient. And just having virustotal scan a program before running it will protect you from most stuff.

If you do insist on a third party virus scanner then eset is one I used to use for years before sticking with defender. It is from Slovakia.

Virus total has been bought by Google. It's what is behind plastore protection.
