I'm preparing to upgrade my Plex server to Windows Defender. What are everyone's opinions on using it as the main security option? I'm aiming to keep the setup simple for Plex.

Common sense and Defender make a big difference. I usually pick Avast since Defender doesn’t follow my filters, so it keeps my "utilities" safe.

I manage a substantial Plex server too, using Defender with Malwarebytes and it’s always stable on 1903.

Install Avast Free and Defender, but note they may not be very useful.

This device is designed exclusively for Plex transcoding. I need a lightweight solution since I won’t be using it for browsing the web.

Avast has been available since its early days, but its performance can feel heavier over time due to updates and features.

As discussed, basic logic and Defender are really helpful. It doesn’t matter what the computer is being used for.
