Hey guys,

 

So I recently updated to Win 10, and I wiped my PC. What anti virus would you recommend that's relatively lightweight. I have CCleaner, and malware bytes right now.

I've used Windows Defender for over a year now and haven't had any major struggles. I occasionally download adwcleaner or Malwarebytes to run a scan then uninstall MBAM afterwards (adwcleaner is not intrusive). They rarely find anything and if they do it isn't serious.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

The included is fine, I stopped using 3rd party anti-virus software after Win7, Win8 did a good job, MB and adwCleaner and HitmanPro are always to keep.

You don't need anything else.

Yeah, like I've never really used more than that and my fuckin' head. But I wasn't sure if there was something wonderful I was missing out on.
