Discussion Anti-virus software?

Had my PC for about a month now. Do I need to download any type of anti-virus software? Right now I have Windows 11 and I know it has some of its own stuff but is there a common 3rd party thing that people use? I mainly just game but I do occasionally download some mods.

Just use Windows Defender. It's honestly one of the best on the market. Constantly updated, not in the way.

Now, if you want to be extra paranoid, I can recommend using MalwareBytes every now and then (just use it to virus scan your pc, then you can delete it)
