installing another anti virus program ? thank you for your help

 

What is the best mobile anti-virus for my Nokia 5610?

I don't think you need to worry as the OS on your phone cannot get viruses. It run's on S40 (if you wanted to know).

 

The question was the best

 

Well, OK..... the best free anti-virus tool to use with Windows 10 is the grey matter between the user's ears, with Windows Defender as a backup.

 

I use Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Premium. *Cool

 

Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Premium...

 

Installable - Zemana - Anti-malware and anti-ransomware protection

Portable - Emsisoft | Emergency Kit: Free Portable Malware Scan and Removal

Portable/random name/immune against anti-malware blockers - Dr.Web CureIt!

 

I like short and to the point

 

zemana is best
but you don't have to limit yourself to just one, so add to it hitmanpro

 

Windows Defender, alongside Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free for periodical scanning.

However, any anti-malware solution is not going to protect you if you do not think before you download anything that may be suspicious such as cracked software, or freeware that is ad-supported, or other such things. Remember to read installers carefully for any junkware that may be installed with it (and uncheck if possible, if not possible do not install the program), and keep software up to date so you do not have any backdoors or holes in your system.
