[QUOTE="Arequire, post: 984670, member: 59283"] Probably the former, seeing as I and likely countless others only utilize Microsoft Defender (although admittedly I'm using modified settings, but am absolutely sure nothing would change if I used default settings) and remain uninfected. I think most people would be better served changing their browsing habits rather than investing in a third-party AV or security suite. Ultimately though, third-party AVs provide competition, which is always a good thing. I wouldn't want to live in a world where Microsoft Defender is the only option. [/QUOTE]
