Hi everyone,
I started looking into antivirus options on another forum, just one that came up in Google. It seemed quite a general opinion there that Microsoft Defender is not a suitable option because 'it can easily be disabled'. I'd like to ask how true/accurate that is and whether it is safer to have something else for protection? I won't ask about specific products yet as I'm just trying to check first if the built in option is worthwhile
I should point out I did first snoop on the security configurations forum here. I looked at just the Advanced Security Plus and the most recent 20 or so posts. I did see one using Microsoft Defender but the other 19 all used something else.
Thanks for your help
