Windows 10 Windows 10 / Antivirus

[EvanDavis]

I have a nice new shiny PC thanks to my family. It is running Windows 10 which I am liking. Question though, is an anti virus needed or is the Windows Defender enough ?

yes, get a 'proper' AV ... ASAP!!!

Bitdefender Free would be my first suggestion.

I'm using Kaspersky, free for customers of Barclays Bank.

Sadly I am with Natwest. I did use Kaspersky way back in 2006 when I got my first laptop.

I shall give that a whirl

Avira frees good too.

I've had more than a month of Win 10 now and all I use is the built-in MS Defender; Malwarebytes; Privazer.

No nasties so far.

And FWIW I didn't get on with Bitdefender, it erased legitimate applications without asking during a cleanup and therefore found itself exiled forever.
