They nasty malware out there now that attacks Windows Defender and shuts it down . I's kind of like Windows is since it's most used desktop OS it has the most desktop malware . Well since Windows Defender is the most used Antivirus it's the most targeted and it has the most exploits being written to shut it it down. If you think it's better it is because you just not been infected with the right strain of malware yet. Some people don't use nothing but conman sense and never get infected for years tell one day they do.(08-25-2018, 01:02 PM)mastersteven Wrote: I'm not sure about Kaspersky free as I've not tried it yet its kind of new. I've not used a free anti-virus since 2014 expect for Windows defender when i 1st installed windows tell i got around to disabling it.
well one of my late aunts bought the full version of kaspersky internet security suite (not the free version) a few years ago and it protected her win7 machine pretty well, maybe even better than the ms security essentials app for win7
note that the win7 version of defender is not the same as the win10 version as W7's defender was only anti-spyware (weak) but the W10 version of defender is nearly a full antivirus app
