    Even Windows doesn’t really even need a 3rd party anti-virus anymore. The built in windows defender has gotten so good as to really be all you need for active protection unless you’re insanely stupid and keep bypassing it. Use Malwarebytes for deep file scans once in a blue moon, and you’re golden.

        Do you have windows 8, 10 or 11?

        Defender has been on in the background this entire time and you don’t even know it. It is on by default and incredibly hard to truly disable.
