I feel like a section dedicated to antivirus software might be helpful. I don't know how it'd be rated but I feel like it would just be a good addition to the website.

Do you have suggestions what it should include? I think the biggest user group would be Windows and macOS users while on Linux people are usually fine without antivirus.

Personally on Windows I just use Windows Defender which comes from Microsoft without having to pay for it separately (in addition to Windows 10) and I don't see additional value from a antivirus section.

The only name I can think of is ClamAV.

For Windows (10) the internal Defender is the best solution.
It have good detection, no ads or annoying popups, don't crash your whole system and also have a lot of Windows internal protections like Anti-Ransomware, Anti-Exploit, Network-Protection, ...

With external AV at least the last features aren't usable, so i wouldn't recommend such tools.

Im feeling unsure about this one, as basically Anti virus software packages are spyware on their own these days.

Yeah, I agree that Windows Defender is good and that the built-in antivirus for your computer is probably best, but a lot of people seem to trust in other antiviruses over Windows Defender or the built-in antivirus.
