[QUOTE="Moonhorse, post: 894136, member: 72712"] I guess phishing and scams are most common these days, AV web filter is good to have but adblocking is probably more important When i read news i really dont see news about malware targetting single people, its always something like some goverment place has been hit by ransomware But on windows i think its good to have some kind of protection, on android / ios not really . If the CPU/RAM usage is the issue why you dont use any kind of antivirus i would take a look on other bloatware that has been installed on your computer My RBG lightning on my desktop takes more cpu than Windows defender, maybe WD will pass that when running full scan... but why would you do that when you have real-time protection on already [/QUOTE]
