I use Windows Defender, I haven’t had a need to use anything more since the iterations in Windows 10 and the resource impact is negligible for the protection afforded. I mean, I’ve never even heard of the Smadev before today and to not consider actual verified ranking and testing results of antiviral performance and detection in the recommendations is just bad advice. I’m kind of disappointed in the quality of this article and even more so in that I arrived at it via Google News. I’ve seen people paying for 50 seats of AV with a laptop and a tablet to their name and a 600 dollar a year bill to AVG. Meaning they’ll charge you for 5 seat AV then keep pop-ups advertising it to you and sell it to you again. But more importantly, they continue advertising pop-ups after you buy and allow customers to purchase multiple installs of the same product. Most of their protection comes from simply taking control of the defender tools like its firewall and calling it its own. Furthermore, if he’s being paid it’s by AVG/Avast who are the same company and scummy as hell. The only protection for that is user education and keeping your files where they can’t be accessed. Besides using onedrive Defender does have protections for ransomware, if your AV doesnt come with cloud backup(which will be pricey) it’s not protecting you against ransomware. If the writer knew anything about tech he would know you don’t run two AVs at the same time so defender turns off to defer to your third party. MS defender turns itself off (not works in conjunction with) when third party AV is installed. Since this whole article is factually inaccurate, no. It may not be as good as other software, but it is good enough and can be used with other software.
While many don't trust Windows Defender, it is reliable and does a decent job of keeping your system safe from most attacks.
This way, your work won't get affected, and you get the protection you need. If you're worried about the system lagging while running both software, you can schedule both to run at different times. This will help ensure your system is safe from all viruses. You need to supplement Windows Defender with a stronger counterpart.
Is It Important To Use Other Antivirus Software? As mentioned earlier, it doesn't cause your system to lag and works quickly in the background. Windows Defender scans all documents and programs, regularly downloads updates from Microsoft, and has a clean interface. These are leading third-party antivirus software that protects your system in collaboration with Windows Defender. If you're looking for something more advanced, you can try Avast, AVG, or Smadav.
