Does windows 10 really need Antivirus and antimalware?

[Sumukh Phalle1992]

Windows Defender is quite good but does it provide real-time scan? Does it removes malwares? I am just thinking to try Advanced System Care Ultimate 9 or Norton Antivirus? Which will be worth to use? What about Kaspersky?

defender will be just fine , or you could add up malware-bytes to enhance your protection.

There's no right answer in these kinds of threads, everyone who responds will have their own opinion without knowing anything about your browsing habits.

Just like going out for a bicycle ride, your level of protection should be relevant to your level of risk.

If you only visit established/well-known web sites and download apps from the Windows Store, then Windows Defender/Firewall will be fine.

If you enjoy going off the beaten track, then you'll need more.
