I am under the impression that the best antivirus programs that work without account is Eset and Kaspersky.

Is there is a better solutions?

Windows Defender, AV's pretty much need to hook into the kernel to do the job. This can be problematic with third party ones as they're just not as tightly integrated with and developed alongside Windows itself...as we've seen with the crowdstrike 2K24 incident lol

And Windows Defender is actually pretty good, MS has put good effort and investment into it.
