Hi @gjg7
Tough question to answer due to it's subjectivity.
Some folks like built in Windows Security.
I have used various security software, including Windows Security, over the years.
I like: Trend Micro, BitDefender, Norton, Eset, Kaspersky, and others. For some reason Eset is not on the current list of certified security providers. Eset does a good job.
Security providers listed above get good marks at AV-Test.org.

Just as @Bill_To mentioned, the responses are likely to be biased and subjective. Mine are no exception.
Having tried a few anti-virus (AV) programs over the years, I decided to stick with "Webroot". -No, I don't own shares or have any other financial interests/stakes in that company, but my experience with the aforementioned AV has been outstanding:
Thank you: that just reminded me to renew my annual subscription, which as you can see is about to expire.

Anti-virus protection beyond Windows Defender is more important than ever for all the reasons you know or don't know.
Not just talking the talk but also walking the walk: after locating a $32 discount renewed my Webroot subscription:
