Internet security? on 15:40 - Jan 22 with 1453 views | jeera | I usually speak to people like Dan on this stuff as it's his bag. Mind you he might not want me volunteering him. But as he and others rightly point out modern Windows comes with its own Defender anyway, but I like the tried and trusted [free] combination of Avast and Malwarbytes. For regular use you can't go too far wrong with those two together. They are compatible and cause no conflict. A password manager also comes strongly recommended. I use Avast's but I'm sure someone in the know may suggest better ones. Edit: He must have seen the bat signal. [Post edited 22 Jan 2020 15:40]

Internet security? on 15:40 - Jan 22 with 1456 views | DanTheMan | What sort of security are we talking? Privacy, protection from viruses? For the former I can recommend some VPNs, for the latter it depends on your operating system, but these days you very rarely need a dedicated virus scanning solution. Usually your operating system has it covered. | |

With defender, you're unlikely to need anything else unless you actually need to remove one that has got past it. Usually by that point, depending on the severity, you would just be better off reverting either reverting to a backup or doing a clean install. Would recommend using a backup solution if you don't have one set up, especially if you're storing anything of importance on the PC. | |

You could use Malwarebytes to complement Defender. | | | |

If you keep your Windows updates up to date then yes. Never paid for or used any free third party anti virus with nil issues to date. | |
