basically theres no real reason to run anything except windows defender and nothing else. malware bytes spams ads nowadays. corporations pay a bajillion dollars for very expensive security software that is genuinely better but out of the price range of anyone itt

Common sense + Malwarebytes Free.

If you pay for antivirus software you're a sucker.

Right. I'm shocked at how many people are running any other crap itt. Am I falling for some kind of meme or are all y'all not informed?

linux

but in all seriousness, clamav. temporarily installed eset nod32 out of paranoia but nothing was detected aside from some xmr mining software i personally downloaded, so back to just clamav after the trial expired.

Way back in the day it was. I don't think it was even called defender back then (is it still even called that now?), but basically any of those common antivirus brands are, at best, eating up a bit of your processing power. Selling those with a straight face is the second worst thing about tech sales.

it was good at the start for the first few years (back then it was known as windows security essentials) and its been good now for the past few years. there was a period of time inbetween that where they purposely made it worse due to fears of antitrust lawsuits or something but that time has passed

there are some paid antiviruses that do a better job, but its not all of them. there's two factors to consider. accuracy, and speed. theres some that are faster (or less of a resource hog, whatever) and some that are more accurate, but defender is near the top of the charts on both these days, without pushing marketing down your throat or costing anything other than you paid for the OS

Defender does include the same "log in to your MS account! Synching! ONEDRIVE!" nags as everything else, but they're easy to kill off.
