I assume that you are asking about Anti-malware software?  Windows has built-in software called Windows Defender that the user can activate which will protect the PC from malware.  See here:

How to Turn On Windows Defender in Windows 11: A Step-by-Step Guide - Solve Your Tech

And there are various Anti - virus venders that offer free software, too.  And then there are numerous vendors of paid versions, also.  What exactly did you have in mind for protection?

I think HP used to offer a trial version of McAfee, if that interests you.
