In September 2018, I wrote a few words about Windows Defender, as my default antivirus for Windows 10. It’s been a few years since I’ve used it at work (as well as the rest of the people in the company). I recommend Microsoft’s default solution built into Windows 10/11 to anyone I help with their computer.
So I decided to check if Windows Defender is still a solution worth recommending. After all, it’s free, and you have to pay for all the others, so what’s the catch?
Hell has frozen over once again.
I have been using Avast on my Windows computers for years and it has worked wonders. I have not encountered any infections and it has protected me from several threats that I have encountered.
