This is my opinion based on testing and actual use over several years. I’ve tried and every now and then test again. I also read reviews and tests online to try to keep up to date.
For home users, I recommend sticking with Windows/Microsoft Defender. It’s been rated highly by independent testing and personally I find it great and the least intrusive, least performance impacting AV for home users.
Bitdefender (we use it via N-Able, white labelled).
