LOL. Hey, while I really don't use antiviruses(because Linux), I still have the free version of MalwareBytes on my Windows 10 OS. While it's not actively running, I still run the MalwareBytes virus scanner for like once in two weeks, you know, juuuust to be extra sure. But yea, I don't think antiviruses are really necessary unless probably for our parents that's likely to click on some random email attachment.
As for OP, probably look for a license seller on Amazon, and pay it through Purse.io so you can pay using bitcoin.
If it's free, then it's ok. I also had MalwareBytes for some time (I believe it's better than any of the conventional AVs, like Norton or Kaspersky) and it's ok to run a scan from time to time. Also, I'm not really hating AVs. Just saying that they aren't responsible for 1% of your online security (imo)
