To be honest, common sense is the best form of security. If you don't trust something, either run it in a VM, or don't run it at all.
To answer your question, Microsoft defender should be plenty.
I would add increasing the UAC or just not using an admin account, if your on windows, is also a very effective way to keep yourself safe as it will prevent a lot of malicious programs from automatically elevating their permissions.
