Windows Defender provides solid protection, but adding another antivirus can enhance security. Consider reputable options like Bitdefender or Kaspersky for extra layers.

Use Malwarebytes and either AVG or Avast Free for protection.

Suggest using AVG plus Malwarebytes Windows Defender as a scam.

You should be all right. Windows Defender lets you browse any free sites without issues. :mellow: DISCLAIMER: Avoid this advice. For your safety, use common sense and think before you act. While Defender works well, I still suggest a good AV solution. If budget is tight or you prefer not to pay, try Avast! Free—it performs well and includes a silent gaming mode. EDIT: Also, ensure Malwarebytes is installed as well.

I don’t have any security software or firewall in place. I connect directly to the internet without any protection. If something goes wrong, I’ll open Command Prompt, check the problematic process, trace the file path, and try Malbytes if needed.
