[QUOTE="Xeno1234, post: 1071681, member: 101350"] In my opinion, defender isnt enough. While good security practices are your main line of defence, screw ups and mistakes happen. Defender isnt enough to detect anything past a basic threat. Although I dont think paid suites are nessicary, I would try go for a third party free AV. In my opinion the best free AV is Kaspersky as you recieve all of the detection components, just not any of the other bloatware type stuff that comes with full suites. There are other options though. You can get infected with any anti-virus, just it seems like most get infected with defender. [/QUOTE]
