Im still on my very oldish computer that Wainui magiced up for me and over the years used lots of different ones and currently use kapersky ? and its driving me crazy.
I dont have spare $$ but open to new ideas. I do use Firefox and mostly just use the pc for work and watching movies or listening to music. so you tube, netflix, disney etc.
Im not trying to be difficult it just comes naturally.

Maybe I'm just cleaner than you fulluz!
Beets, if you use it mostly for movies why the hell you wanna pay for something? Surely the free stuff would be more than adequate.
Depends where those movies are being sourced from. If you're trawling the shadey depths of the internet then ESET is a lifesaver and well worth the price.

Good point.
Beetle's middle name is 'shady depths of the internet' so she better get a 2nd job to pay for it all.

The Problem with Free ( apart from the Microsoft AV) is you get "extras" like nagging to upgrade, or more commonly Slowness and performance hits on the Computers. Get what you pay for.
Avast for example is more of an infection than a AV these days, even the paid one the persons computer who I worked on yesterday, They brought Avast Basic, then got hit left right and center with prompts to buy extra features. AND it slowed what was a reasonable powered computer ( i5 8GB Memory 256GB SSD, W11 - 6 months old) to a bucket of sh1t, that took 4 1/2 minutes to boot. ( I timed it).
Removed all the crap including Avast, installed Eset - removed 8 infections. Then it took 20 seconds to fully boot from completely off.
