I’ve just been using Windows Defender, but the number of false positives and the lack of autonomy in dealing with them is making me wanna look elsewhere.

    You need to explicitly grant the script admin access or have totally disabled UAC, which already punches a large hole through Windows’ security model. Malware that’s in that situation doesn’t need to block Defender to do harm.
