What are you using? Is the windows 10 protection suit enough for home use?

Is there a home use VPN that is better than others? Is it worth it?

Last week I purchased a test subscription to System Mechanic to clean up my computer before upgrading my ram and HD to SSD. System Mechanic is an all in one antivirus, malware, system clean up, etc program. I can cancel in the next few weeks and get my money back or I can keep it and pay $60/year. I realize $60/year isn't much of anything...just curious if it's worth keeping or investing that $60/year into some other security?
