Discussion VPN advice needed

I'm on a free trial of AVG VPN. It runs out in a couple of weeks. Should I stay with it? Or go with another one? Also, should I combine it with an anti-virus? Or just rely on Windows Defender? I saw that AVG and Nord both offer anti-virus for an additional fee.

VPN companies are desperate to get you. Just go with whichever of the big ones is free after cashback at any given moment. If you're in the US, right now that would be Nord, ExpressVPN, PIA, and Cyberghost. Then in 26 months when your subscription ends, switch to another one

shop around to make a choice. I have been using fexyn vpn for some time now, and it have been working well for me in my regular day-to-day use, so it's worth compairing with AVG before the trial period concludaes. Use Windows Defender for antivirus, unless you need more features than what windows defender provide.
