I have seen several post about windows defender being adequate antivirus for your home computer, but it’s still a billion dollar industry, what do I get if I would to install antivirus anyhow? Say my computer is rather powerful so I doubt I would sense any difference in performance since I am a novice user. (Basically only play one game with it) But what would I get in addition? Thank you 😊
Depending on which particular “solution” you install you may get infrequent nagging popups, reminding you to run a system scan, or a piece of software that’s very difficult to get rid of or simply a monthly bill for your subscription.
Paying for something does not automatically mean the thing is better than one you don’t pay for.
So don’t bother. Defender is enough.Wikipedia has acomparison chart of most Anti-virus software. You can decide how much protection your need and pay for. Please check out Anti-Virus sub

You already paying with your personal data and computer usage with electricity to Microsoft, why would you want to pay to another multi billion company in top of that?
