Third party AV is not recommended— it typically does nothing but add issues to the macOS and competes directly with Apples own built in security:

macOS - Security - Apple https://www.apple.com/macos/security/

Apple Platform Security - Apple https://support.apple.com/guide/security/welcome/web

XProtect, the anti-malware system on the Mac....

Apple uses its Software Update service (which also drives system software updates that show in the App Store or via the softwareupdate command-line tool) as a mechanism for installing “background and critical” updates that are installed silently in the background with no notifications to the user.

Use what’s built-in: Effective defenses against malware and other threats - Apple Community

Learn how we get hacked: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

And I generally don’t recommend add-on anti-malware. Too many problems with that, over the years. Added vulnerabilities, too.
