Microsoft Defender
Is the improved performance of Microsoft Defender a myth? Should we necessarily be using a 3rd party AV?

[QUOTE="wat0114, post: 968315, member: 91306"] For a typical home user with some common sense and basic smarts about cyber and email threats, using a browser with a good ad blocker and moderate security and privacy settings enabled, in addition to the above suggestions, I see no reason to pay for a 3rd-party security solution. Out of curiosity I checked out Kaspersky's Internet security solution, which is no doubt an excellent product, and there is a 50% sale, but even that is more than twice what I pay for OSArmor at $20/yr, which I admit is probably overkill on my setup (Defender bolstered with H_C), but I like the security it provides for the nominal yearly fee. BTW, if there is any doubts about the scan results from Defender of a downloaded file or email attachment, there is Virustotal or other free, 3rd-party solutions. [ATTACH]262796[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
