I know the customers we have had seen plenty of corrupted CDX, blocked ActiveX controls, record creation errors due to the file (opened Exclusive in VFP) is in use from all sorts of anti-virus software programs. (Used ProcMonitor by SysInternals to prove it) Kaspersky, BitBlocker, AVG, Norton all stick in my mind right now. We've seen issues when there is multiple anti-virus programs installed. Even when the software is "not working since it is no longer registered", our customers have these issues.
Avast has been recently removed from my personal systems since it pops up adverts for more of their tools (which I find useless for me).
Windows defenders work for me.
As for developing, I have a VM I do most of my code with. I don't use any internet in the VM, so I feel Windows Defender is enough there. My desktop at the office, uses Windows Defender. We used to have other tools. The network admin decided Windows Defenders was good enough for the desktops in the office.
That's my thoughts on the subject.

Just my 2 cents... Since several years I'm running without any other additional AntiVirus Crap. The builtin Windows Defender from Win10 is absolutely on par with all those other gimmiks. And it is integrated seamlessly into the filestack, thus causing no additional trouble or performance bottlenecks.
