Yes, that is a free forever virus protector and is all you need. The computer came with McAfee which is a virus itself, so I highly recommend removing McAfee if it allows you to (didn't allow me to remove it, proving it's a virus).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Windows Defender is virus protection and will protect your system from malicious software.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Most windows computers don't come with an anti-virus (McAfee, Norton, etc). Windows Defender is a built-in, extra layer of security that just comes with Windows, however It isn't perfect and I'd recommend picking up a separate anti-virus anyway.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi! Yes, windows defender is a virus protection that is built with windows and functions alright. I would recommend downloading and installing Avast free anti-virus. It's light on system resources, and works well for a free program. Other protection I would recommend is AVG. But like I said. Enabling Windows Defender to do all that it can will certainly cover most if not all of your bases. It is what I am testing personally, and thus far (2 months) I haven't had an issue.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Windows defender is a good program and used it only and never got any mallard or Spyware or viruses. Got some notifications tht the program had removed some things but over all it did what a virus program would do, but it comes with Mc Agee on it and if u delete it like I did, u will get messages posing up on ur computer when it is restarted or logged n to to install it. I never hve tho cause I dnt like tht program.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
