Windows 10 Which Anti Virus?

hawkeye62 · Oct 21, 2016

I am running Windows 10 and Internet Explorer. I have depended on Windows Defender to protect me from virus , malware, Trojans, etc. But, my system became infected with safesear.ch. Windows defender did not detect this virus. I used Malware Bytes to remove it.

So, what anti virus would you folks recommend to use along with, or instead of, Windows Defender?

Thanks for any advice.

Regards, Jim

Windows Defender is ok for free AV, but it still doesn't have very good detection. I personally recommend Webroot Virus Protection For All Your Devices | Webroot it's a signature less AV protection that relies on Cloud data and behavior. Extremely high detection rate 100% from tests, cheap $29 and extremely lite on your system 8MBs of RAM usage.

I just use Malwarebytes and windows defender. Has worked well so far. I used to use Comodo and had no problems with that either.

OK I shall tray it. Thanks

Ruh oh Shaggy!
Microsoft's Windows Defender came in dead last at stopping new "zero-day" malware that had never been seen before. More than 10 percent of zero-day bugs slipped past Defender, while the average antivirus product let only about 1 percent pass
