Is it worth it for an typical PC user to pay for an additional antivirus, or is Windows Defender enough these days for most people’s usage?
In: Technology
In the last ~five years, no. Windows Defender has a bit of bad rep based on the early versions, but it has really come up and is currently tracking among the top AV products based on various third-party testing sites.
It may not *feel* as good because it doesn’t produce much noise. Third party paid AV products try to justify their worth by the way of showing various prompts, popups and notifications to show that they’re there and vigilant. WD just does its wofk, silently.
