Windows 10: Do you need anti-virus software these days? I’m not going to shady websites or downloading...

I’ve only ever used MacOs and never had a problem. Is it the same for windows 10?

Is Windows defender enough? Do I need another anti-virus?

There's no One Size Fits All when it's coming to choosing security products...

Help With Choosing Anti-Virus Software

Hey guys

I would like to know what some of the best anti virus programs are.

I am currently running NOD32 and the Nvidia firewall (came with mobo) and I find they slow down my games (singleplayer)

The guys over in the gaming threads suggested to just disable them while playing but I'm not sure I want to just in case you know.

So yeah bassically if you could give me some suggestions for anti virus and I will probably go back to using the windows firewall instead.
