minus-squaredavido@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year ago Read on Leddit that Windows defender is good enough Be me, download pirated games Gets infected with adware Dont realise for months Then realise its kinda sus that 2 command prompts open on windows launch Download malware bytes and find out I have 3 adware programs hidden in my pc. Yeah boys Im not going nekked again. Im using an antivirus these days.
minus-squareR0cket_M00se@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI mean… It is good enough. But the best antivirus in the world won’t stop a user from downloading malware in the same way that the best home security system can’t protect you if you leave your front door open. You have to use your brain too.
minus-squareLemdee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoExactly, I’ve been using Windows Defender for like ten years. Never had malware or viruses because I’m careful about my browsing and what I download.
minus-squareR0cket_M00se@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoSeriously, I have no idea what goes through people’s heads. I have a firewall so it must mean I’m allowed to download LITERALLY ANYTHING NOW.
minus-squareLemdee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoAs a Sys Admin in my day job, yes. That’s exactly what people seem to think lol
