    Any recommendations for SUPPLEMENTAL antivirus/security software?


    I opt to use Windows Defender as my antivirus because nowadays, its really just as good as the other top shelf AVs like BitDefender and Kespersky only without the $40 dollar subscription fees that usually boil down to them having other features like VPNs and disk cleaners. Windows Defender comes with the OS, therefore that makes it perfectly adept for Windows 10. I'm looking for some software to supplement the security of my system, but not replacing Windows Defender. Any recommendations?
