I'm planning on using a free anti-virus program and I don't know what would be a good one. Give me a recommendation for free anti-virus please.

Windows Defender misses more viruses that a normal free antivirus, it`s not perfect. Good free antiviruses are Malwarebytes free and Avast. Malwarebytes free has no real time protection while avast does. I use them both; I use Malwarebytes for scanning and I use Avast for real time protection.
