Personal Opinion: I don't think you need one. Your Windows Defender is more than capable, just be ready to update it every 2-3days. With Windows Defender there is a gain in performance, so... 14 Likes |

Windows comes with an anti-virus. Switch to a different antivirus only if you have some evidence that it's better than Windows Defender. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

It depends on the work u do with it,if u are an online worker or music/video/application downloader,u really need it o. That was how they told me that windows 8.1 system virus protector can help till I was hit wit one stubborn virus,I lost files. But now I use Avast but u must be updating it,even windows protect u can update but 2/3 days interval. |

I've been using the windows defender that came with my laptop since two years now. It's doing the magic for me. I once installed kaspersky and I realized my cooling fan started running on high speed nonstop. I quickly uninstalled and I haven't use another AV since then. Just update Windows defender and try do a full scan once in a while and you will be just fine. 4 Likes |
