Is there is a better solutions?

Not to take a joke seriously, but if you care about your security you should use a distro that has SElinux enabled by default.

seriously speaking, Arch is kinda DIY distro, if you’re noob in using linux, better use another distro

Oh yeah, giving a Russian software system wide permissions is definitely a good idea. Edit: Poor angry Tankies.

When I was cleaning systems constantly back in the day, malwarbytes consistently found the most bullshit. I’m assuming it’s still good and lightweight. I guarantee if protects better than Windows Defender or fucking clamav if things haven’t changed too much.

Windows defender?

Seriously you don’t need anything else, it’s really lightweight and Microsoft uses it to enhance their paid for corporate offerings. Anything more is just expensive bloatware for 99.9% of users.

Edit: Kaspersky has been banned in several countries because it may be a Russian Trojan program.

I run Windows Defender + Malwarebytes. 2 different ways of detecting malware and work well with each other.
