I switched back to Windows recently. Windows defender is really good, but I also use ClamAV when I need a deep scan offline that reports with a log. I only need it when I connect other people’s USB drives to my computer, though. Windows Defender catches things really well and doesn’t interfere with software installation, just like ClamAV. I’d say if you are looking for something free and advanced, ClamAV is what you need if you need to scan something. I hate Windows Defender’s offline deep scan because it does not produce a log you can access. ClamAV does this.
