I know there are 2 Windows 10 related topics already out there but I want to keep this separate because those 2 are about technicals about the Windows 10 Operating system. This thread is to focus on everything we run on it. Since Windows 10 OS we can run apps too, so I guess it makes a difference from Windows 7 or other previous versions. I want to talk about which apps, programs, Utility recommendations plus what's good - what's bad, etc.
Anyway, my first question is about virus guards since that's something we need to get sorted out anything else in a fresh installation. Now, has built-in real-time antivirus named Windows Defender. Is this one is good enough? or do we need another third-party virus guard? I guess this is the successor of Microsoft Security Essentials which we had in Windows 7 but I was not impressed with that one. I hope Windows Defender is better. Since this comes as a built-in thing I guess it's gonna be a bit of a pain remove it or disable. Right now I'm using Avast on my Windows 7 PC and it's pretty good since I haven't found anything bad yet. It's good at the web protection department too.
And Windows 10 firewalls seem to be good enough for an average PC.
