Fellow pirates, does anyone have any good antivirus recommendations? Looking to get one but I’m not too sure which one is legit and not just a bunch of bloatware. Thanks in advance
Windows Defender, everything else is malware itself.
If you want to be extra sure, check stuff using virustotal.com

Windows defender for active threats malwarebytes for scanning downloads/files. Alternatifely: sandbox a Linux distro.
You literally don’t need anything more these days.
On Windows, just use the built-in Windows Defender. On Linux, I recommend ClamAV + ClamTK. On Android, Hypatia.
If you think you have malware, this is a pretty good guide to remove it.
I’d also strongly recommend using and configuring a content blocker like uBlock Origin in your browser, as well as using a DNS level blocker like NextDNS.
If you have a multilayered setup like this, then I think you’re pretty good and it’ll be not impossible, but much harder to get malware or be infected. Just use common sense as always.
