I’ve looked this up a lot, and I keep getting completely different results in each page I clicked.

I want to know what is the best, most secure antivirus, that’s universal (Supports Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android), that detects 100% of malware.

It doesn't need to support Linux, but I thought it would be nice.

If you think "antivirus that detects 100% of malware" doesn't exist, then the one that finds the most malware the fastest

Yes, it can be anti-malware too, but it should fit the conditions above as well.

(Disclaimer: This question and similar questions were Googled before asking here, and I did not find the answers I was looking for.)

Depends on your needs and your threat surface.

Are you just an individual? Use Windows defender and ublock origin in the browser.

If you're setting this up for some older folks create a separate non-administrator id for them to use day to day.

As a business if you need antivirus your really want something with an EDR team behind it looking for anomalies - not just virus signatures. Something like bitdefender EDR or Huntress.
