Read on Leddit that Windows defender is good enough
Be me, download pirated games
Gets infected with adware
Dont realise for months
Then realise its kinda sus that 2 command prompts open on windows launch
Download malware bytes and find out I have 3 adware programs hidden in my pc.
Yeah boys Im not going nekked again. Im using an antivirus these days.
I mean... It is good enough.
But the best antivirus in the world won't stop a user from downloading malware in the same way that the best home security system can't protect you if you leave your front door open.
You have to use your brain too.
Exactly, I've been using Windows Defender for like ten years. Never had malware or viruses because I'm careful about my browsing and what I download.
Seriously, I have no idea what goes through people's heads. I have a firewall so it must mean I'm allowed to download LITERALLY ANYTHING NOW.
