If you are using Windows 7: use Microsoft Security Essentials. If you are using Windows 8 or Windows 10: Use the built in Windows Defender. There is no need to use anything else.
ONLY use something else if YOU can identify something you need that the standard solution cant give you.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
