bitdefender is an antivirus

malwarebytes is a malware scanner

2 totally different things

 

whats better an orange or an apple

Malwarebytes is anti-malware, whereas Bitdefender is anti-virus. I'd just use Windows Defender and do system scans with Malwarebytes. Bitdefender is really intrusive and blocks random stuff.

Does Windows Defender actually work well?

Bitdefender = AntiVirus

Malwarebytes = AntiMalware

It's like comparing a Burgular Alarm to an Ant Killer; each serves their own purpose, but neither is a replacement for the other.

Does Windows Defender actually work well?

From my experience, yes. I've been using Windows Defender + Windows Firewall and monthly system scans for over a year now and not a single virus or bit of malware. How active Windows Defender will have to be will change depending on the sort of sites you visit and your ability to determine which is the correct download button. Personally, Windows Defender blocks very little as I mainly just use sites that I know.

According to AVTest.org, hell no.

However, my favorite AntiMalware/AntiVirus is Common Sense 2015 (only available to knowledgeable people)

Just because a AntiVirus application doesn't show you have a virus, it doesn't mean you don't have a virus.

Imo, if your not watching porn and know what you're doing, I'd recommend it over any antivirus... It never bothers me about anything and get the job done just fine.I used to format every month or so but now it's been around 2 months and still malwarebytes scan nothing suspecious.

Very well, no detected viruses then. I've done scans with Avast aswell and nothing has come up.

Exactly, malware protection is supposed to compliment your antivirus, not replace it.
