I use avast. Not perfect, but adequate

 

[BouncyNinja]

Avast!

 

[Iroiro]

Windows Defender

 

[Privateuser456]

Windows Defender

I'm also using Windows Defender on Windows 10, is it good or should I rather look at Avast ?

 

[cobusv]

i would also say Microsoft essentials. Lightweight and works
