Good evening. I always get such good answers here, so I'm going to ask another one. On Windows 10: is Security essentials and a free antivirus, enough protection? Or does on need more? Thanks. |

An antivirus only finds what it 'knows' (definitions). Also microsoft's ones look for hax and cracks of windows OS itself.

Windows 10 SYSTEM HAS BEEN COLLAPSED WITH WINDOWS DEFENDER SYSTEM. and its not enough to control system-wide spy-proc.

if you are somewhat experienced, you could increase the level of heuristics in your scanner. It will provide false positives though. I've been using it on maximum for years now... though i prefer safe computing and i don't pirate pc software.

If you are highly experienced you have to wonder if your antivirus is any good because you never do the stuff that explains why you need an antivirus. Yep, trust no one.

if you really want to play with fire, then use (windows) in a virtual machine.

An AV/AM is there to periodically tell you that your safe usage of the computer has not failed as far as it is concerned (virus/malware definitions). |
