A password manager and two-factor authentication may protect you more than another antivirus subscription. Security is a set of habits, not one app.
Do you still need antivirus software on Windows, or is built-in protection enough?

I’m setting up a new laptop and don’t know if I should pay for antivirus. I mostly browse, use email and do some online banking.

People discuss whether Windows built-in security is enough for normal users.
Answers & Discussion
I still pay for a suite because I manage family devices and like the extra controls. But I would not install random free antivirus tools that slow everything down.
For normal users, built-in Windows Security plus safe habits is usually enough. The bigger risks are phishing emails, fake downloads and reused passwords.
