Best Antivirus/Malware/Spyware/Adware Software For Windows 10

[Tom Bombadildo]

Both are free, you don't need to pay for either. Nor do you really need to use the trial, you can just use their free versions.

I use Malwarebytes with AVG (yeah it's shit but it's what I'm used to). AVG, like Windows Defender will give you A LOOOOT of false positives though.

I remember when AVG was good. I regard AVG and Norton Antivirus as worse than any virus I've ever come across. Especially AVG was actual work to uninstall.

I only use windows defender and if I suspect something I'll do one scan with malwarebytes and then uninstall it right afterwards.

Windows Defender for real-time protection is all anyone needs. The free version of Malwarebytes is great for on-demand scanning. Between those two, there's no need for anything else on Windows.

I use free Avast, which also lets me update my existing programs, like Winrar and VLC.

free version doesn't do automatic scans or real-time protection, but you can do manual ones any time.

After 14 days trial then it will still work as it should ?

Ublock will save you more than anything. Also, make sure you enable Ublock for Privacy Windows in your browser. This has saved me a ton of issues when looking for streaming sports sites. I also use Eset Antivirus. It is a light weight very reliable anti-virus. It costs about $40 a year. I never use malwarebyes or similar anymore, there just isn't a need.

Just install Malwarebytes.
Windows 10 has it's own built-in AV which works perfectly and is part of the system.
