You can do that for free - just run a VM for questionable browsing. VMware is free and windows will run forever without a license.

A bloke I used to work with lost his job (at a different company) because he'd "borrowed" a server at work to be a dedicated porn downloader! This was pre-youporn etc days so he was probably using torrents or usenet. Apparently it was running 24/7

What's an anti-virus program?

Jokes aside. If using Windows 10, use the inbuilt one, Defender works as good as anything and make sure you keep the patches up to date (run windows updates) and use their malicious software removal tool if you think you've got an issue. Save your money.

Windows Defender is pretty great.
I also have AVG Free which I use to run a PC sweep when something seems to not be working and it is great at that. It had a real problem with a build of Windows 10 last year and slowed everything down but seems to have been fixed now.
You should never ever pay for anti-virus, despite what Currys/PC World tell you.

McAfee have made an absolute killing over the years - charging for AV is tantamount to stealing IMHO.
But getting Micro$oft to agree to having their product "bundled" on every new PM & laptop was a masterstroke in marketing - must be a fair few that just stump of the renewal when the freebie expires ...
