If you look through the benchmarks you'll see there is no real value in a 3rd party A/V system if you are actively running Windows Defender on Windows 7 or 10. It scores as high as other systems.

A lot of organizations are dropping 3rd party A/V in favor of other types of protection.

A combo of Windows Defender and something like Malwarebytes is very effective. Windows itself will soon have malware/ransomware protection built in (its in the early release programs now).
