Anti-virus is non-negotiable but you can get your anti-virus for FREE in 2020!
If you run a Windows 10 computer, then you have the option to stop paying for your anti-virus as Windows 10 actually comes with a free anti-virus and malware protection. It is called Windows Defender and is part of Windows Security and all you have to do is activate it.
Here's how you can enable yours on your Windows 10 computer.

    • ok, look, built in windows defender is alright, but could cause high cpu usage and that is a big no no for me. i understand that u said that windows defender is a good antivirus, but does it really protect u from stuff like malicious websites or detects web attacks and dangerous downloads. although it does detect Zerologon attacks, is it good enough to protect you from a ransomware. i use avast antivirus and i have no problem whatsoever and it is free.

  • Another trick you can use, is to create a "standard" (non-administrator) user account for yourself and use that instead of the default user account, which has admimistrator-level privileges on your OS. Viruses piggyback on the accounts that activate them and as they all seek to modify the Kernel, using an account that doesn't have admin privilege prevents them from doing any harm.

    • I never liked Norton. My company used to supply us with norton to install on client PC's (small workgroup networks) and it caused so many issues (resource hogging, blocking network traffic, etc) that i refused to install it any more. We started using AVG at the time and it worked well. Haven't used Norton since (2005), so I'm not sure how good or bad it is these days?

  • Saw this video yesterday and it's the first time I have come across anything advocating using Windows Defender, other than Microsoft's own advertising. I am only a domestic user, with backups, so I would be ok if something did "get through" the defences, but the biggest thing I've noticed since uninstalling the free Avast AV is how much my system speeded up! I'm on an 8 year old laptop but I did upgrade it to an SSD and maxed out on the RAM with 12 GB. I don't know if that's significant.

    @1958vintage@1958vintage2 жыл бұрын
    • Yes, switching from an HDD to an SSD will definitely see a "speed increase" (lower latency) in your system. The 12 GB of RAM also helps. You made three changes to your system at the same time, I assume, and saw a speed increase. In order of influence; that would be SSD, RAM, antivirus.
