The one that comes with Windows is good enough. And use your brain too, and you'll be safe.

Gotta agree. Though I do have Malwarebytes installed and run a scan every few months to be safe. I don't pay for the premium.

windows defender is really reliable right now, every system update MS add new exploitation mitigations options for it so it can prevent the exploit from working, folders lock mechanism to prevent ransomware from encrypt your files, lightweight on system and faster than any third party AV, better integration with windows since it's from MS too.
regular update with signatures of latest discovered viruses. windows defender score really high on AV test system https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mic...o365-worldwide

and here the Protection Score is 6.0/6.0 on latest test

in fact you can see how windows defender evolve across the years from realy shity AV into one with 6/6 score and as capable as Kaspersky and ESET

Bitdefender Total Security to me through personal experience is the best anti virus. I'm a Information Systems Technician for work and have been in IT for 10+ years and Bitdefender is the best by far. Also you can get it for free by simply creating a new email and finding the 3-6 month free trials then registering with your new email.

Folks dont get it twisted. Defender is a whole different product starting from Win 10 PRO. The home version sucks harder then thai girls on soi 6 in Pattaya, Thailand.

AVG free is just okay in windows

Bitdefender Total Security is so good
