I must admit, on Windows 10, I also use the built in Defender from Microsoft. This question does come up regularly though, so here are my notes from the last round of conversations on this earlier this year:
There are several anti-virus programs which are accessible with NVDA and some which are partly accessible:
Windows Defender comes with Windows 10 from Microsoft and is accessible.
If anyone checks those and finds the information out of date, or has others to add, please do chime in!
Kind regards
Quentin.

Hi Quentin and Group,
Be ware of Kapersky! It was all over the mainstream media that
Kaspersky is from a Russian company and it may pose a threat.
Some businesses and supposedly the NSA are worried that Kaspersky
could contain Trojans or Key loggers.

Gosh, sounds like when in Italy priests told the people that communists ate children! ROFL!
Kaspersky is quite good, in fact. Only a bit cumbersome, if anything.

Yep, and Windows Defender (on Windows 8 and later) is getting better and better. Oddly enough, even the tech press agrees about this. If you (for any you) are getting repeated infections then you need to examine your own browsing practices. The vast majority of viruses, malware, and the like do not "sneak on" to your computer but are invited there by your visiting the places that they live.

Brian's Mail list account
The problem with anti virus programs in general is of course that if you are the person to be one of the first to encounter a new bit of malware, no anti virus currently around will spot it.
What I tend to do is use the MSSE in Windows 7 and Superantispyware. This later program, though not totally accessible is if you start from the prompt to update its definitions and then run it. It has focus at start up issues, but I think the people who make it really do not understand the implication of not getting this part and the list of malware access correct. You can read it all with nvda/B but not all with the two navigation modes nvda has unfortunately.
However you can quarantine any dodgy stuff and see the log.

Hi Group, I find it hard to believe that there isn't at least some merit to this. It appeared in countless mainstream media around the world and you would think that if there was some sort of media conspiracy of such proportions that it would leak out. It sounds like a lot of you are influenced by this idea that all news is now fake news that doesn't agree with a particular political point of view.

Travis, I'm agnostic about the banning of Kaspersky by the Trump Administration, but the article you point to is 3 years old (almost). If this were direct punishment for something like this it's highly unlikely it would have taken three years to do it. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1703, Build 15063 (dot level on request - it changes too often to keep in signature)

recommend all of us here to use Caspar sky due to the Russian
hacking to our election last year. I wouldn't pay them phonies a
