Need advice on free antivirus program

[jbubb]

Patio: are you talking about Windows Defender? Windows Defender has been described as less than Avast or Bit Defender. The reason I changed antivirus programs was because of that. I surf pretty cleanly but there is always a chance for me to mess up. I may eventually go back to Windows Defender and MBAM, time will tell.

Allen: I didn't know whether a problem existed or not because Windows Defender is pretty much silent and MVAM trial period isn't always available.

Windows Defender is ranked above both the ones you tried...just sayin.

Did you look at the link in the second post above? Defender is highly rated. And if there was a problem, you'd know it

OK, thanks. I read where Windows Defender wasn't ranked above them but will change back if you use it.
