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.
