Which free antivirus will you prefer to use with win 10?

What will be the right choice of a free antivirus with the new OS? The inbuilt Defender? Or long time trusted Avast? Or Avira? Or anything else?

Have you guys tested any free antivirus yet?

Let us know ... share your experience with us.

My choice is Avast! One of the best anti viruses out there.

Didn't Microsoft already tell us that Windows Defender was just a So-So protection program? And to be really safe, you need to install an Aftermarket Anti-Virus program.

I just shut it off, and then Install AVG 2015 FREE, Super Anti-Spyware, Malware Bytes, Spybot Search & Destroy and Spyware Blaster.

But like many programs, the secret is in the Setup. NO program can just be installed and then forgotten. It don't work that way.

Setting up Security Systems is sort of my Speciallity.

Oh, by the way, shut down UPnP on both your PC and your Router, if you really want to be safe.
I did both of my WiFi routers this morning, after watching Steve Gibson's U-Tube video on UPnP.

You say: shut down UPnP on both your PC and your Router, if you really want to be safe.

My router comes with UPnP enabled,that's the way it should be,what you mean shutdown?

HTG Explains: Is UPnP a Security Risk?

Something that's not MICROSOFT related.

I'm using Windows Defender, Malwarebytes Anti-malware Premium and Anti-Exploit Premium, ClamWin, and MS EMET
