The best antivirus is you. I don't use antivirus since 2008. Never had a problem. BUT I don't DL pirated games, I don't open files on my inbox I didn't ask and when chrome say a web site is dangerous I listen.

And there's always https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload if I suspect something fishy.

Well, it's not always pirated games you know. Viruses come along with any software or even other small files.
