Virus Protection Recommendation
Ed Marquette
Richard Turner
Windows Defender is all I have ever used and our computer repair shop here that we use recommends only using Microsoft Defender.
It is very accessible and built in, so no cost.
In my experience, McAfee
Is a resource hog and a royal pain …
It also takes a lot of work to get rid of it.

give you good protection.
In general, user caution, following the standard rules such as not to
open unknown attachments, and using an ad blocker to protect you from
malicious advertising, which may be on even reputable sites, should
combine to give you good protection.

Should you buy an antivirus or does Defender protect you?
