- Anti-virus is non-negotiable but you can get your anti-virus for FREE in 2020!
If you run a Windows 10 computer, then you have the option to stop paying for your anti-virus as Windows 10 actually comes with a free anti-virus and malware protection. It is called Windows Defender and is part of Windows Security and all you have to do is activate it.
Here's how you can enable yours on your Windows 10 computer.

🚨🚨🚨 YOU really do need a VPN even when not doing anything dodgy/ weird online! Here's why: th-cam.com/video/76b5DebpvXc/w-d-xo.html
ok, look, built in windows defender is alright, but could cause high cpu usage and that is a big no no for me. i understand that u said that windows defender is a good antivirus, but does it really protect u from stuff like malicious websites or detects web attacks and dangerous downloads. although it does detect Zerologon attacks, is it good enough to protect you from a ransomware. i use avast antivirus and i have no problem whatsoever and it is free.
@@dan.nandlal i downloaded a client for a game who was legit for a many months and suddenly the defender came and detected uwamson virus so its pretty good
@@feynex31 do i have to activate windows to get windows defender?
@@randyprice3605 yeah malwarebytes is all you really need plus windows defender then just scan emalware bytes everytime you download something off the internet
Only get a vpn if you need region switching. All the security aspects advertised with it or at least most of them are just marketing becaust those are already active no vpn
Another trick you can use, is to create a "standard" (non-administrator) user account for yourself and use that instead of the default user account, which has admimistrator-level privileges on your OS. Viruses piggyback on the accounts that activate them and as they all seek to modify the Kernel, using an account that doesn't have admin privilege prevents them from doing any harm.
Great advice. About to set up a new lappy for my 74yo mother and she has a tendency to install games but forgets to unlock-click all the "install this, too" buttons and winds up with all kinds of junk and some malware. This will at least keep her from the worst of the worst. Thanks
or set UAC to max (i dont think this will help lol \_(._.)_/
Yeah that would be great if true lol, mate I don't know who told you that rubbish.
Running as root is dangerous regardless of system.
Do you mean switching to a local account from a microsoft account on win 10?
I haven't used a third party anti-virus app since the days of Microsoft Security Essentials. The only time I've ever had an issue was when i knowingly ran some dodgy software. I always have an up-to-date backup for this very reason. Job done...
thank you so much I had a virus that couldn't let me do anything . An IT person even tried to fix it but he couldn't. you don't even know how much I'm grateful to you
I honestly didn't even know Windows 10 had a built in anti-virus! I was just wondering if I should renew mine and then TH-camd "Do I even need it?" and your video came up, thanks! I never ever had my computer compromised, so I honestly don't even care about anti-virus anymore, but knowing that Windows has one for free makes me feel better.
Honestly, it’s Microsoft, of course they can make a good antivirus, they could make the best if they wanted to probably
I don't trust Microsoft to make a cup of coffee.
@@dereksmallsuk Then dont buy microsoft coffee maker
Microsoft's Windows OS is one of the worst OS. so Why do you assume they can Design a great antivirus software?
@@borgir7477 There isn't one. Microsoft are the worst company ever.
@@bhuvaneshs.k638 Well you are very wrong. Windows is one of the greatest operating system's out there. They have been very kind to let us use it on many platforms. You don't need to act cool and be like *MS sucks, it's the worst*. Dude... it's not.
Thanks Liron. It's improved even more since then too. Funny how I was hacked with a famous brand AV installed but no intrusion since booting it to the curb and going strictly MS Defender. Sandbox apps like emulators are also protected.
Thank you so very much I am an older person not very technologically inclined and had a pop up for months that I couldn’t get rid of, and because of your post I finally stopped it.
I just purchased my new laptop and started to search best anti-virus. And THIS IS IT what i've found!!! Thank you so much for the info. 👍👍👍
So you're currently using Windows defender
I just saved 50$. I wasn't aware that windows defender was upgraded to this level.
Thanks!
me too
Bad idea tho, I bought Norton and installed malwarebytes and found more than 30 virus malwares
@@JPMorganChaseCo. would you recommend norton or eset?
Latest version of Microsoft Defender got perfect scores on AV Tests. And one could always combine it with Avira Free Security for extra protection, or piece of mind.
Raj Neo I only suggested it for those that might feel safer combining Windows Defender with something else.
Thank you. I remember the old "Windows Defender" so I didn't even check because I assumed it was worthless.
For anyone that's interested, the "controlled folder access" option will prevent steam users, in some games, from saving. Fallout New Vegas and Farcry 3 were 2 that stopped saving do to the controlled folder access option. Disable and it saves fine.
omgt,thanks for the info man. never knew that.
@@azurekite3870 It's only a problem with windows defender. The witcher was another one that would stop saving. If the game title sounds like a virus, defender blocks it and you don't even get an error message.
ehm dude ... windows actually tells you that it blocked the .exe from writing, you then can add the game to the exceptions and restart the game and it will be able to save as it normally did before. you dont need to disable it. just give the .exe permission to write save files after the message popped up. or are you so noobish with your pc that you dont even see the windows security notifications?
@@curumon Back in 2017 when I first encountered the problem there wasn't a notification that I saw. As for defender, I haven't used it in years.
@@tct72 So you're giving outdated infos...
I've been having AVG free for many years and still have it. A bit of a pain when they're trying to make you buy their upgrade but I just keep going with the "free" anti-virus program. Well, on a few rare occasions while I'm on-line the AVG Free literally stopped viruses and Trojan variants from infecting my computers. From Windows7 to Windows10, never had a problem and I'm using both Windows firewall and AVG currently.
use it too, free and needed sometimes

Thank you so much. I didn't even know this was already available through Microsoft. My current Kaspersky subscription is up for renewal soon and after looking at the renewal price for 5 PCS, I came across your video. Thanks again and you've got yourself another subscriber.
thank you so much! im not one of those persons commenting on videos but this deserved it.. thanks for the amazing tip!
just uninstalled the mcafee program and now im running with the windows protection
Thank you so much for the info. I just ordered my computer and I was wondering about antivirus protection so now when I get it I'll know what to do. 😊👍🏾
it will clog everything up trust me it is sad that they selling your information includes the paid ones too if you get one windows defender works make sure it is set moderate or high
A vid of setting game mod program exceptions would be nice. I noticed this with my FO4 mods Vortex would at times get noticed as a virus.
Yes windows defender has been getting better in terms of signatures, but you also have to dive more deeply in cybersecurity - the most important of antivirus is behavioural detection, and it doesn't seem that windows defender is doing great in this case.
For BASIC protection it's enough
Today's threats are not basic anymore and they're becoming more dangerous every day.
How often are you gonna dowload ransomwares or others? trojans and basic malwares are more common and windows defender is enough
@@Luca.s1503 Nope, the polar opposite I'm afraid 😅 malware authors care about money more than anything else, so they want to make some malware that they can get a profit on (often times in the form of ransomware)
@@Luca.s1503 windows defender does not have the behavioural protection of others like Sophos for me to trust it with my grandparent’s computer, it will probably be a few years before it reaches the same level
Hi Liron, I discovered that Windows Defender was 'sleeping on the job', so I bought Kasperski
New subscriber... love the short and sweet videos . 👍🏼
Contrary comments will be deleted
Thank you so much for the info, I'll use Defender temporarily until I can afford to renew a dedicated anti-virus system software.
What is the best subscription based company to use in 2022 for windows 11 in your opinion 🤔?
Windows defender gets an 85% detection in cyber attack tests most higher rated anti virus software gets a 96+ detection rate so it really depends who you are, what you do with your computer & how important the contents of your computer is to you.
Norton got 100%
@@JoelEmmettMcGarrity Norton has a detection rating of 98.86%; Kaspersky gets 100% and I believe Bitdefender does as well.
@@dmonpnda4284 I round up 🗿
you dont need such a high detection rate if you arent one of those dumb peoples which open every e-mail attachment possible. nor do you need not such a high detection rate if you dont pirate games, downloading movies from illegal sources or watching said movies on illegal plattforms.
Wow- I had no idea about the different protections available! On a scale of 1 (plant life) and 10 (PC expert), I am almost a 1. You're directions were clear, straight to the point, and most importantly, they WORKED! Thank you for the great video. I'll have my eye out for more.
Plant life in actuality is very intelligent
LOL same here!
after i uninstalled Avast antivirus, their is a drastic improvement in my pc's performance. Thanks for the tips.
Avast
Same
Did you have to deal with avast browser stalling your computer from start after "completely" uninstalling Avast?
@@NarinderxBali It's not that big of a deal but ok.
Thing is if an AV product is not having an impact on the PC performance then it is in fact not actually doing anything and this goes for any program really, however programs are not all equal and i am sure we all know the history of Norton being a lead brick to a PC, where as AVG and Avast where the light weight champs sadly Avast has fallen along way, Even the MS anti virus has a performance impact it is just well less than the Avast one.
I remember when a virus infected my Norton Anti-Virus, this was back in the late 2000s
like mine scenario back in the days. norton was awful.
Never bought anti-virus and never will. Done perfectly well with Windows Defender. The only time I had an issue I simply reinstalled Windows and all was well.
@Miraak I would install Malwarebytes and I bet it will find things that Windows doesn't pick up.
@Miraak Windows defender are just have a basic virus definition. Use Powerful antivirus will find harmfull virus that windows defender cannot detect.
I’ve often seen this on Win 10 but never thought to check it out. I will now nice one.
Back in the 90s a lot of us struggled with windows firewall and window virus apps, it was clumsy unreliable same goes for the window virus apps, I never looked back always thought MS products were low quality.
Agreed. But like everything else in tech that has evolved, so has defender.
Do I need to completely uninstall the other virus protection software from my computer to use defender or is cancelling the subscription enough?
i save $100 for this. thanks mate, I just subscribed and hit the notification bell for anything you post
The only thing is advanced setting in group policy in w10pro allows you to tight things up more. Also didn't mention that the resources vs Avast free and avg are going to slow the computer more. Avast and avg are a lot lighter on resources. Makes a big difference in older machines and machines with less ram
Just saw your User Name and really Laughed Out Loud !! Thanks for the laughs :)
What exactly are “resources”?
@@prizerebelhacker1234 after 2 years you expect me to remember... Also a lot in the AV arena has changed.
@@Budicles Have an updated video?
@@prizerebelhacker1234 why would I have an updated video since I was not the one posting it. Just commented. 🤔🤔🤔
Thanks brother, this was very helpful. Your videos are very informative.
Great video, because I just bought a HP computer, They pre-stalled McAfee, they want $44.00 after the 30 day trial is over. Thank you so much for posting this video, You saved me $44.00 👍❤️😀
Yesterday i deleted my anti virus application, because my computer ran too slow. Already thought W10 has to have it's own defence, and today your post on the subject confirmed that thought.
Excellent timing!
awesome - you will def want to watch this upcoming video 😉
Fact: Most people just use Windows for browsing the internet. Just use Linux Mint and you don't have to worry about viruses.
Yes.
I game on my pc.. Do most games work on lenux.. Does it even allow games??
@@bryanlife3311 Yes, most games work on Linux. Sometimes it is a hassle but Steam makes it pretty ez. (Just toggle 1 box in settings) The only problem are some anticheats (like easy anticheat) but they are working on it.
Firewall disabled by default. No hardware acceleration in Firefox :(
Me: Installs Chrome and force HW acceleration on - it can actually decode VP9 smoothly while privacy purists are shouting!
Me: still installs Bitdefender or ESET.
This year I switched from W7 to W10 and its a very good experience. On W7 I had AVG for years and on the last 2 years it has become a Scareware. I'm savvy enough how to avoid viruses and yet AVG is like a Mafia selling OPPS insurance!
I got AVG once bundled in something else and I had to fight like a wolverine to get that trash off my system. As far as I'm concerned that stuff is malware. Filtering my searches through them. They can F right off with that!
But if you want to supervise Windows Updates, you must also do the same EVERY time/day Defender updates definitions.
Hi Liron. I was thinking of moving back to Windows own built in security. However, in the case of having IOT devices would you say it would still be prudent to have protection in place? Such as bitdefender box?
windows defender is horrible
It barely blocks any viruses
Windows defender won’t block a lot of the viruses.Having a 3rd party anti virus is better then using windows defender in general.
Absolute bogus
Are you a multi billion dollar Corp? Or just a user who do some office work and gaming? If the later one then you don't need it at all 👍 aside of you like to waste money
@@ulfseidl1216 Not sure what you're getting at here. Ur acting like you always need to pay there are free antivirus that are way better than windows defender. Such as Kaspersky which has a free cloud protection that has saved my a couple of times. Now before ranting about someone else's comments check your own.
@@maazmaqbool3960 Buddy, Windows Defender also uses cloud protection as well. What are you talking about?
I'd probably still keep Malwarebytes as it has a record of saving me from eternal doom twice back in the days. Kinda hard to let go of that one.
Doom eternal gave you virus?
@@tardwrangler1019 Haha no, like eternal doom = eternal damnation. I was working on an important school paper that time.
@@KatRollo yeah Malwarebytes is pretty great
I still install mbytes on all my devices phones too

Would this work if I get mods for my games, like graphics improvement and to export stuff like cars into gta?
Thanks for sharing. Does this work for Windows 11?
I've been using Windows Defender for the last 5 or so years and it has served me quite well.
Untill it dosn't :D
@@jondonnelly4831 well then he had at least 5 years without having to unblock normal programs on a daily basis.
Wow! Thanks Boet!! Great information!
How do you do it 🙄🙄
Excellent information! We're running Windows 10 and were reviewing a product before purchasing, when we found this video. FANTASTIC!!
Its great for home users, but in a business environment I go with a paid one that includes a management interface to manage all your computers and run off reports etc.
I take issue with that.
Man you are awesome. I’m 70 and know absolutely nothing when it comes to technology but since I found your videos I have been able to do so much with my computer and phone. Thank you so much.
Made my day! I do appreciate you watching and being here. Thank YOU!
Ive been using Defender over the years but with the newer versions of Windows theres been enlist issues with crashes etc. I thought it was Malware but scans always come up clean even with third-party Antivirus software like Trend Micro and Bit Defender. Settings also are just as important and takes just a few minutes to setup and you don't have to pay a cent.
I think Windows Def shines by not nagging the user to constantly upgrade to a premium or paid edition of a particular AV. Dealer with older folks they aren't really ready to close the nag messages down thinking it's something that requires their immediate attention.
Looks better after uninstalling AVG.
And using built in antivirus.
You save my money. I was about to purchase antivirus.
Thanks alot
Thanks for this. Is it cloud based or is it a resource hog like Norton? And does have pop up blockers and adware component?
Cloud based
You saved me hell lot of money 👍
Thanks 🙏
Windows 10 antivirus keeps reporting spybot anti beacon is a severe threat as it is making sure my hosts file isn’t transmitting info to MS. Took a while to realise that the immunisation by Spybot was the trigger to the “severe” warning that was happening.
Windows defender kept tagging a few of my legit games and my crypto miner software as some hardcore trojan.
I've had Windows Defender now up and running for over 6 months now and I haven't had any issues so far.
Thank you kind sir for you honest sharing of this information. I was looking for an answer to the "do we really still need an anti virus in 2023" question and your video answered that perfectly. Thanks!
Whoa !!! Crazy man cool ......plus I'm your first viewer......
You rock!
Thanks dude, good info!
Thanks for sharing this. I was about to pay for antivirus but will try this now. Thanks again.
You're welcome!
ransomware could still sneak on as per other reviews. The protected folder will work ..but only if you put important stuff in their in the first place. Sandboxing your browser is still possibly best practice.
I saw how much Windows Defender improved, and I'm impressed by the test results
Windows Defender is not a replacement for any real anti-virus programs. I know this by experience because I got a virus a while back that Windows Defender didn't detect but Malwarebytes did.
@Ishmael Let's say regular user are using Kaspersky, which Center of the Company is located in the Russia, and now say Malwarebytes Center of the Company is located in the United States of America. Which Software would be used by Russians and which one would be used by Americans? As I know, Russians does not have created any Operating System with in-build anti-virus program, i.e. of Sample which were presented here.

Yes also for a more thorough scan use windows mrt directly by clicking the windows key+ r and then typing mrt and clicking enter then run a full scan of the entire system instead of the quicker scans done by windows defender
Thank you so much sir - much luv from California USA
Microsoft defender is one of the best decisions Windows ever made and gave lots of non techie people a gift 😊
If you are dumb enough to fall for it.
Hi! thanks for this, very helpful. I just have a question, is it ok to download another free antivirus software even though I already activated this Microsoft built-in antivirus one?
It's OK to install non-MicroSoft antivirus. MicroSoft AV Defender would be automatically uninstalled. When you uninstall the non-MicroSoft AV, MicroSoft would detect that you know longer have an AV protection, then upon reboot of your system, MicroSoft would automatically install the Defender AV. At least that's the way I understand it.
Hi Liroy… I’m gonna buy a new / used PC soon. Would it have Windows 11 installed into it ???

norton is a virus
Gav's Travels lol
I never liked Norton. My company used to supply us with norton to install on client PC's (small workgroup networks) and it caused so many issues (resource hogging, blocking network traffic, etc) that i refused to install it any more. We started using AVG at the time and it worked well. Haven't used Norton since (2005), so I'm not sure how good or bad it is these days?
@Terry Kelly i use to use norton but had an issue with when i record a video at my church and upload it to Google Drive and go home and download it to edit it norton blocks it for some reasson #SMH
Once worked at best buy. Watched Norton itself hose a new pc on new setup so bad that us in the tech dept tpld everyone to stop recommending it. Many times on new setup had to restore because Norton made it unusable.
I've never bought anti virus. I've never had a virus. I'm nearly 50 and have been on the internet since it started. Before Windows Essentials I had AVG. If you aren't going on dodgy sites it's all you need. Just be careful what you download and don't click on links people send you.
But you need the CLOUD side for WInDef to work properly aka keep internet connection on when your messing about

I do have a question. I agreed about the security of Microsoft Antivirus built in Windows 10. Does Windows 10 has the same features as Malwarebytes Premium? I do have a lifetime subscription with Malwarebytes Premium and System Mechanics Professional with built in System Shield Antivirus. Ransomware has been attacking computers, can Windows 10 offer protection on Ransomware like Malwarebytes Premium?
THE HEART OF GREED - The sad problem is that the heart of greed prevails - the sales people who sell you the computer do not inform you of not having to purchase an antivirus program. They also do not inform you of free maintenance package like Advanced System Care that is free to maintain your computer. So sad...
If a virus does get through Defender to your computer, is there any support available from Microsoft?
If a virus gets through it’s not hard to remove go to malwarebytes website and download their scanner should clean up any malware that gets through but I wouldn’t recommend using defender at all there are much better options that are free like kaspersky or bitdefender
I have been using windows built in AV since XP. Never any issues. Buying an add-on is a total waste of money, and bloatware to boot, slows your computer to a crawl. Also, I am a 25 computer tech.

Now, Defender hasn't totally stolen the spotlight away from the McAfees and the Bitdefenders of the world. You could chalk that up to decades of name recognition for competitors, but testing has revealed some notable shortcomings in Windows Defender. We found that the SmartScreen filter in Edge blocked just 68 percent of phishing sites, for example. That's particularly bad compared with the 89 and 90 percent blocked by Firefox and Chrome. In those tests, Kaspersky and McAfee blocked 100 percent of the phishing sites.-pc magazine

Kaspersky was fine, until you hit walls you needed to open, then it wasn't worth having...

Biggest issue with defender is the time it takes for new updates, they don't turn them out as fast as the best protection systems as far as I am aware.
