PMS on Win10 - Which antivirus?

Server Version#: 1.23.2.4656
Player Version#:
Hi, i’m currently deciding which antivirus suite best my need… i run a 24/7 server plex in which i download from many trusted sites and very few torrent( in these years i try to avoid torrent)

I need an antivirus that doesn’t need to reboot after installation of upgrade(i recall avast free did)

Currently i’m using MS defender(without the reccomended configure in github that i discovered reading this subreddit) and i’ve set up manually folder control access built-in for protect my media folder of plex

along with malwarebytes premium for 5 devices(80euros per year)

Which is good, but i also testing in these days, kasperky cloud security free on a separate computer and as far i can see… it block same thing that malwarebytes premium do, and it use 100 mb of ram instead of nearly 500MB of malwarebytes and defender combined togheter

Is it safe to replace this combo, and stick in with kaspersky security cloud? when kaspersky update his program, not the definition…a reboot is required?

I can define folder access control in kaspersky security cloud free?

Browser i use Edge
Password Manager Bitwarden
Download: Jdownloader2
For Torrent, i use Trasmission and for direct link Internet Download Manager

tried defender alone in a vm and it didn’t detect anything on a website which i can be sure contain popup and other stuff

Thanks for your advice

So, basically you recommend to stay with ms defender + malwarebytes premium (real time protection) ? Or you recommend to ms defender only and malwarebytes free and perform manual scan sometimes?

Another solution could be : defender only inside Plex server

Download new media content in another pc with other solutions and then copy with usb hdd on server Plex

Which of these three options is best? At the moment I’m downloading directly on Plex server
