I’ve been using Avast on my PC for 4 years, yet I hate that it gives misleading information about my computer, any tips?

Avast is terrible. As long as you don’t do shady stuff you don’t need anything more than windows defender nowadays. If you still think you need something stronger, Malwarebytes free scans are usually more than enough.
Windows defender is the only one you need these days… and it’s free…
Windows defender is the best. Malwarebytes free version for manual scanning. Ublock origin extension for your browser.
Reminds me of a streamer. Person was sharing desktop. Something like Norton has the bright idea of “HEY YOU! YOUR IP IS *300.12.14.7! HIDE THIS WITH OUR NEW VPN PRODUCT!” popping onto the screen
* IPv4 address is wrong on purpose
Windows defender + malwarebytes for spot checks is the best
Defender plus run Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) if you feel the need to scan

Windows Defender is more than good enough, it only nags you by telling you that “your device was scanned 3-12 times and 0 threats were found.”

Don’t install anti virus, they are themselves virus or malware if rather like
Clamwin, it’s free and open source so dosen’t require in built ads for revenue. Clamwin dot net.
Kaspersky free is pretty good if your not in the US
