Hi,
I have been using McAfee Live Safe. It seems to handle virus problems
pretty well. I currently use it on Windows 7 and Windows 10 workstations.

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Protection against malware on a new Windows 10
system
As noted previously on this list, I recently purchased a new laptop, which
is intended to run both Linux and Windows. On the Windows side, I need to
guard against viruses and other forms of malware. Whatever solution I put in
place has to be accessible with a screen reader. I have some system
administration experience (with my own machines and, occasionally, helping
others - almost entirely under Linux), so I'll take the obvious precautions
- keeping the system and applications up to date, only installing software
from reputable sources, etc. In other words, I won't make the obvious
mistakes that people who don't know any better tend to make.
Currently, Windows Defender is running by default. In the reviews I've read,
it has been criticized for its virus detection accuracy, but those reviews
aren't necessarily recent. What are others doing and recommending at the
moment?
