[QUOTE="plat, post: 804022, member: 74969"] Is Windows Defender good enough? This is very subjective and depends on your threat model and computer hardware. I would use Defender only in conjunction with OS hardening tools like group policy (I have it in Windows 10 Home) and [URL='https://www.novirusthanks.org/browse-by/malware-protection-tools/']NoVirusThanks [/URL]software (SH, OSA). Only then am I comfortable with Windows Defender. Can't stand the bloat from unneeded/unused features in third party suites nor system slowdowns from too much real-time. To me it's about hardening and virtualizing what's already in place. Maybe look into using them up first, they're both good software. Or give a license to a friend. :) Edit: I take too much time proof-reading, then someone posts something I posted so, boom! Have to post in a hurry, otherwise I look like a shameless copycat.
