[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 948528, member: 31436"] [USER=90893]@simalinga[/USER] I don't know why you keep pushing the point that third party antiviruses are not needed. Microsoft Defender [B]and[/B] big name third party antiviruses provide excellent protection. As a result, it really does not matter what you use, as you'll be well protected regardless. As already mentioned, for me, MD causes noticeable slowdowns. Since I don't want my computer to be running slowly, I would need to upgrade to a faster computer if I was to use MD. So it would actually cost me more to be using Microsoft's free antivirus, than a cheap third party one. The links you posted prove absolutely nothing, as it's just the authors' opinions. You could just as easily have found articles saying that third party antivirus is better. Here's one I found which does just that.
