Build your own PC is not that hard and can be fun.

Malware and Viruses exist for both MAC and PC.  Mac has had more issues in recent times than ever before, and now offers free malware/AV solutions on their app store.

 

For PC free solutions which work extremely well are also available for anyone to use.

 

They include.

 

CCleaner: https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download 

 

Useful for clearing out the junk that all software leaves behind, log files, registry keys the normal one stop go to for cleaning up a Windows OS.

 

Spybot: https://www.safer-networking.org/dl/

 

A solid anti-malware, or rootkit piece of software, a really  good tool in anyone's arsenal.

 

MalwareBytes: https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/

 

A brilliant piece of software for also stopping malware which compliments Spybot really well in a Windows environment Windows 10 comes with its own antivirus (Defender) this is constantly updated by Microsoft and is getting better and better ratings as time go by.

 

I use both OSX and Windows daily in my work duties, and I fully believe anyone who loves OSX can come to appreciate how Windows compliments OSX and in some work environments succeeds where OSX can feel restrictive.
