Windows 10: The best working antivirus program for windows 10 RTM

Hi there

Oh dear -- you obviously haven't understood any of my posts.

Please tell me what What Windows defender (W10 version) is if it isn't an AV piece of software.

I didn't say don't use an AV software product --I merely (and re-state too again) stated that ANY 3rd party AV system is 100% UNNECESSARY now when using a HOME computer with W10 installed --the built in system is perfectly good enough.

Anything else is a WASTE OF MONEY AND RESOURCES.

(Corporate stuff -- different conditions apply).

Again.. I think others can make up their own mind as to what they want to use as an AV about now.

 

Here is an extended list: AV-Comparatives List of W10 - AV-Comparatives

 

Welcome to the forums.. and thanks for the list. That will come in handy.

I use BitDefender Total Security and it purrs along just fine.

 

Windows Defender !?
It's the baseline for testing other Antivirus software's. even MS says users to use a Third party AV suit for better protection than from Defender. Any one who trusts Defender on it's abilities need to re consider that. Please do go through these reports and test results, it will give a clear picture why WD ain't much of a security tool at all.

PCmag report on MSD : Microsoft Windows Defender Security Center
Windows 10 may be secure enough, But still an additional light and effective free security suit won't hurt at all. *Smile

 

Hi there

?????

Ms doesn't at all say use another 3rd party AV --in fact the latest posts coming from Ms say it's the best protected AV system available. You are confusing Windows defender from earlier OS's (Win 7) which is totally different. In fact Windows defender won't even RUN with some AV software.

People can stick to what they want - but referring to rubbish in some of those "technical rags" who are reliant on advertisers is just plain stupid -- also comparative lists are totally USELESS as they are all out of date by the time they are published -- new attacks could appear at ANY TIME rendering past results meaningless.

Last century's solutions for THIS century's problems --won't work !!.
