What's some of the things to look for and/or what's the best protection for the money? I'm assuming also that most come with an auto renewal setup?

Whatever comes with Windows.

For home use, the built in Windows Defender suite has been more than sufficient for quite a while now. No need to complicate it any further than that.

I quit buying software that slows my PC down and just use the Microsoft defender stuff. It's more than sufficient.

kaspersky free is as good as it gets.

If you really feel that you need something beyond what Windows provides, the best one I've seen (between being secure and doesn't bog down your machine) is ESET HOME Security.
It honestly depends on WHAT you're doing and WHERE you're going. If you're downloading a lot of files from file sharing sites, you probably want something fairly robust; if you're just browsing the web, Windows' embedded protection tools are generally sufficient.

Most free solutions are just malware.
If you find that you absolutely need something, download Malwarebytes, run it, and then uninstall it

the necessity for anti-virus software, outside of what you get with windows, is a thing of the past. most 3rd party anti-virus software is malware itself nowadays IMO with the amount of spam they generate. i find the best malware approach is to not install a bunch of 3rd party shite.
