I have always used dedicated software for Internet Security, mostly from Kaspersky. But after Windows 10 I decided that the built in Defender is more than enough. Combined with the free Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and its cousin Anti-Exploit and I have maximum all around protection for my PC!
Plus- and this is the best thing- I avoid all the nagging offers and pop-ups to upgrade, try out the new stuff, or renew the license (which is a fuckin nuisance!)
So Windows Defender is all I need. And it works! Recent viruses that hitched a ride with some torrent files were picked up and deleted fast and easy with just a single task bar pop-up message informing me of the diffused threat. What more do you need?
