I was thinking, mbam, have you got other suggestions for Windows 10? Also, is there a good setup for when I’m running games I bought, and I don’t need active scanning of threats? (Especially for legit games that use resources intensively)

    Yes. But the discussion was about not running any since it killed performance.

      Extremely case where I’m going to defend windows; but Ms Defender never killed performance in a pc even if i had a low-end one.

      Considering all the bloatware windows has, OP would be better off fighting like literally every other program except Defender…

        I fully agree.

        But my main point was that they’re taking an extreme risk if they’re running without active antivirus and access the network in one or another way.
