In addition to dealing with viruses, some antivirus protects one from other things such as adware, advanced persistent threat, arbitrary code execution, backdoors, hardware backdoors, code injection, cross-site scripting, and botnets.
An Antivirus can either be paid or free and while the free ones are more popular compared to the paid ones, It is advisable to use the paid ones because they are more effective compared to the free ones furthermore, the free antivirus softwares are mostly trial versions and they can also be used to infect your system with the virus so try to get any of the antivirus listed below and install it on your system.
