Seriously. Windows Defender is an excellent piece of software, and its all you need. Paying for anything else is kinda foolish.

If you're on windows, you dont need anything else except maybe to install malware bytes once a month, run the scan, and uninstall it.

This is Lemmy. Chances of people here not using Windows is relatively high.

You know what they say about assuming things.

I would say that the fact that I used the word 'chances' would suggest I wasn't assuming anything.

I would also suggest that the very large Linux communities would support my non-assumption.

Oh, so its like a card game

"I say Chance! and nullify your Astral Assumption card!"

No? It's like a guess. You've heard of guesses before, right?

Yeah, always make assumptions. They make conversations faster.
