Windows Defender combined with thoughtful browsing. Also, since you seem to be a PC gamer, check out Reddit and their PC gaming subreddits. A lot of them recommend Windows Defender combined with Malwarebytes (and thoughtful browsing as well).
Cylance, unfortunately they don't have a consumer edition.
I normally go with layered defenses. I run a inside outside firewall, with a sonicwall inside with all defenses tweaked to the max, Trend AV, Malwarebytes AM, filtered email and a honeypot just in case. And i don't consider my defenses adequate.
The sheer magnitude of the ever evolving threat against us is startling. I have seen many individuals compromised by very aophisticated atracks. The internet is the wild, wild west.

#1 is smart browsing, and don't click sh*t. I'm supposedly a security professional, so I'll chime in.
I use Windows Defender for general malware, EMET for other security holes (more info HERE on EMET), and the best software for removing general adware and most annoyances is Malwarebytes (free version). Also leave Windows Firewall enabled.
Very, very rarely are you going to get infected/compromised from out of nowhere. If you did it's because someone else on your network broke rule #1. If you're not on the network, then it's because you broke rule #1.

On my PC's I run Malewarebytes. Nothing more needed.
I use Kaspersky on all my computers/laptops, malwarebytes on my gaming computer as well.
We've used Norton/Symantec, McAfee and hated them.

It is very possible (not recommended for most) If you run certain commands frequently and monitor inbound/outbound connections, you can. Also, a good hacker can mitigate an AV.

Defender has improved significantly over the years. Good post.

There are still viruses that infect Macs.
AVG is just as good as Symantec.
Practice abstinence-be careful where you download your pron.
Get CCleaner and malwarebytes and run them weekly.
