Defender is fine.

Thanks for quick reply.

With Windows 10 version 2004, Defender has been even more enhanced

defender works fine..... don't bother others with ads....

Defender is fine. Can check out av-comparatives for comparisons of antiviruses but take it with a pinch of salt. No complaints with Windows Defender here.

Window Defender is good enough if u dont go link spam link and xxx website

Avast Free is the rekomen AV

Agree with other forumers above, Window Defender is good enough.
But I also installed Avast just to be safe (as an extra precaution). Lol!

Don't need third party AV apps anymore.

No AV/Antimalware app comes with an ironclad guarantee – because no single app can cover the entire spectrum of online threats. But not so long ago, Windows Defender's level of protection was used as a “baseline” for comparing the protection offered by third-party AV apps. That’s no longer the case, and once Windows 10 is updated to the Fall Creators Update, Windows Defender should be sufficient for most users.

If u install avast, it will replace your windows antivirus..
try install kaspersky anti-ransomware for additional protection..
so far receive good review from google search..

if u r normal good boy user then it's good enough.

but if u like to visit xxx sites better get extra protection

If you're a normal user then defender is enough but if you are regular user of internet surfing like you're doing affiliate marketing or web developing then you must think about extra layer of security to save from ransomware.

Defender + Adsblock

M$ Defender, Free malwarebyte, and Adblock Origin plug-in installed on your browser is more than enough in most situation

i like defender too

has been using defender only
even if go xxx, as long you dont anyhow download/disable auto download/enable ask before download, should still be fine? not very sure though

Since appearing of Windows 10, build-in Defender is far than enough.

Third party anti-virus no longer necessary.

never use 3rd party antivirus, feels defender is good enough

How about the built in Firewall? I found it slows down the Internet speed.
