I usually don't run anti-malware software. It's a good thing to use it but it's easy to know what you should or shouldn't download.

If not, download a VM of your operating system to test if certain files are malacious

If I've learned anything in my years of computer experience, it's that if you're hesitant about executing a file, it's probably not something you really should be executing in the first place.

Don't really use any actively.

Run malwarebytes once or twice a week.

I usually use my ISP's provided one or just the default Microsoft Defender whatever it's called now of days, I keep a set of programs to clean out my computer or other computers whenever I need to but I usually don't download anything that I don't trust and mainly only download images or videogames from steam.

avast,malwarebtyes ect all grwat Norton has good malware detection butt sometimes abit to good

Avast and Malwarebytes do the job fine for me.

I use Emsisoft Internet Security, not many people have heard of Emsisoft, but personally I prefer Emsisoft over most AV vendors because of their respect for the users privacy with the addition of their great signatures and zero day protection capabilities.

Malwarebytes premium and windows built in Defender works fine for me.

AVG.

I also use spybot search and destroy and malware bytes.
