Hi everyone, just wondering what your recommendations would be for a sturdy virus protection for Windows 10 which doesn't seem to offer a lot of protection.

I use the free, built in Windows Defender AV and MalwareBytes. This combo is what most Techies I know use.

On my Windows 10 computer I get a notice every once in a while that Windows ran a test and informs me that it didn't find any viruses on the computer.

Use Linux.

Like others have said, Windows Defender works fairly well.

My network is double firewalled and I am very carefull what I do when using Win10.

When I need to go to a questionable site I use Linux Mint and Firefox. I have 4 cpus on a KVM switch: Linux Mint, Win10, WinXP, and PC-DOS 7. Yes, I use them all.

Before anyone asks, I use WinXP to fix NTFS FILES & hard drives that have gotten corrupted and I have a number of old apps that do not like Win7 and beyound.
