Windows 10: Anti Virus Extension for MS Edge

Hi Community,

I use Microsoft Edge and it works better than Google Chrome. But I do not want to buy antivirus. Is there any extension that I can use in place of antivirus? Or do I even need one?

P.S. The topics are MS Windows and MS Edge.

I too add my name to the list of people who find Edge useless without extensions.
Huge step backward folks.

 

Anti-Virus

Probably your computer came with a preinstalled McAfee trial which you should uninstall properly...

• McAfee KB - How to remove McAfee products from a PC running Windows (TS101331)
  
• McAfee Removal Tool - McAfee Uninstaller
  

Also please read
this post.

After rebooting Windows Defender should get automatically enabled.

I use and recommend the free browser extensions uBlock Origin and Ghostery...
