Re: Looking for Virus, Firewall etc.. program for Windows 10 PC

as I Said before you ideally want all these things covered.

1 - behaviour blocking. Typically HIPS, also things like SRP or applocker great here, preventing executables to run from user writeable folders such as temp folder, docs config folders etc. Alot of firewall apps include HIPS and also the cryptoprevent free tool I mentioned installs some decent SRP policies.
2 - Memory exploit protection, typically EMET is well known for this, but malwarebtes has their own tool called malware anti exploit (both free). No a/v software has this protection.
3 - An anti virus, anti virus are a lot overhyped, they not great for 0day stuff (the top 2 are better for that) but are useful for catching older stuff.
4 - good end user, so configuring software well, and been vigilant on what you download/run. Typically this means things like whitelisting javascript in browsers, blocking ads (ads are a great way to spread malware), disabling browser plugins by default (so whitelist), and not disabling UAC.

Bitdefender free is a great AV and Zone Alarm free firewall is a good combination I've used them for a long time with no issues I wouldn't rely on Windows defender either

Windows defender is the bottom rated here https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/
