Asking for a friend. "He" visited an animal porn site and "his" computer contracted the cyber equivalent of needing a full diseased rectal transplant. Plz halp!
Nah just kidding. I'm asking for me.
I've got no issues that I know of since switching to Windows 10 almost a year ago. But the only precautions I take are the built in Windows Defender software, Ad Block on my browser (Chrome - if that combo doesn't prevent some low level viruses please let me know) as well as not following any of the dodgy links you see shared around the place, and yeah general diligent browsing and software installing habits.
I'm mostly asking because I'm curious to see if there are any essential (and free) antivirus/anti malware programs that I should be running in conjunction with the standard Windows protections. I'm also curious as to whether it's even necessary, because Defender seems to be pretty damn good.
Thanks. The sooner I get advice, the sooner I can satisfy my hunger for viewing some durty man-on-horse action.
