Tim, what Antivirus would you recommend? Avira was recommended to me as one of the best free Antivirus programs. Is there any free Antivirus program that does a good job?
Perhaps this should become a new thread asking for recs?
I'm not Tim, but I use Windows Defender, a.k.a. Windows Security, the default thing that comes with Windows 10.
I also use Firefox with a variety of ad blockers and security addons. That's my first line of defense, and it keeps me from having to rely solely on Windows Security to catch stuff.
And if something does sneak past, I've got Malwarebytes ready to go.
All the stuff I mentioned is free, by the way.
