WD and Free Antivirus programs are bad, says this PC Gamer article. Do you agree?

[QUOTE="Jonny Quest, post: 1073815, member: 99434"] I didn't see him promoting a paid version by name, and voted for Honest history due to his last two paragraphs. I believe some of his observations about the free versions are correct. I think the thread title is maybe a little misleading, brandishing more of a spin, skewing it by using the word "suck"? [I]If you're not prepared to shell out any money for a good AV, then Windows Defender really is the one for you. Yes, it let me down once, but honestly after many years of trouble-free usage, I really shouldn't have abandoned it so quickly. It's discreet, updates often, scores very well under testing, and gets on with the task of keeping your PC well protected without asking you for any extra cash, or keeping its key features locked behind a paywall. No antivirus is foolproof, but this particular fool has learnt his lesson. Come back to me now, dear Defender. All is forgiven. The horrors I have seen since leaving you behind have thrown your brief transgression into sharp relief.[/I] [/QUOTE]
