Question about Antivirus

[iammrdom]

Hello! 
 

back in the day, a very many many days ago indeed (Windows 7 days); been a Mac user for a very long time, I used to use Eset for my antivirus but is Windows Defender capable enough not to have to purchase antivirus software? I also read that malwarebytes is a good utility to check for malware?

 

any thoughts on antivirus or tips would be greatly welcomed.
