Windows Firewall does a good job.

I recommend searching this bb for one of the other two dozen threads with the exact same question.

Malware Bytes Free. AVG is a resource hog. Malware Bytes used to be really good, but seems have gotten more bloated lately.

Which I find surprising, because it's a firewall, not an anti-virus program. Windows Defender might be even better.

No kidding, my home computers had become unusable with it installed. MUCH better after I removed from all of them.
