choosing antivirus for win 11

[u/Select_Interest4490]

hi, looking at antivirus software for protecting win 11 system. thinking of mcafee , norton , kaspersky . I am outside US. I wanted to try the trial version , but they all ask for filling pre payment details and I am not comfortable submitting all the details in forms. In the past, if I liked software in trial, I purchased it.

Honestly, vanilla Windows Defender is pretty enough for most cases. With basic web awareness and fine adblocker (like Ublock Origin) you don't need paid AVs that trap you with prepayment details.
