Ditch all antivirus except Microsoft's Defender

Thoughts and vitriol begin here…

 

ZDNet LOL

 

I IGNORE any article from PC Mag, ZDNET, and sites like these

For real Security discussions there is no better than Wilder Security Forum

 

"Ditch all antivirus"

He must never of used a microsoft OS before.

 

No problem with MSE and now Defender after going to Windows 10 Pro.

 

Sure, it's fine to ditch AV on Windows...

...so long as you are very careful what websites you visit, don't let anyone else touch your computer, and have really good hardware and software network security devices

 

Easier said then in real life malware are waiting for such users that go this route. Don't let someone else touch-that's a inside the box thinking and will never work in real life. In the end if they are the admin user no amount of hardware will work if they permit the access from sites to their computer. If you really want good security Password protect the Admin account and make a User limited account and use that and should you get malware then log in as Admin and wipe clean that account and recreate the Limited User again will go alot further but to think not using A/V like MSE/Defender is very short shortsightedness thinking that malware/virus would gladly sit right next to you at your computer.

 

My comment was more tongue-in-cheek than serious advice.

I probably should have added a /s tag...
