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

[QUOTE="wat0114, post: 968379, member: 91306"] Right, I'm not on the other side :) And yes, with supporting mechanisms as you and others mention, Defender seems perfectly fine, which is why I see no need personally to pay for an AV. I just mentioned it off the top of my head, but of course there are other freebies as well. I've seen VT flag infected files appropriately as malicious, so it's not always unreliable, at least in my limited experience using it as a second opinion. [/QUOTE]
