I purchased a stock standard Win 10 desktop PC from my local JB HiFi. Getting
it home I plugged everything in, connected to the net, logged into Gmail and
Facebook, connected the printer – all worked fine.

I then downloaded Open Office from openoffice.org and installed it from the
.exe file. I then rebooted the PC and bingo, it was full of malware. Not just
the usual quiet script that sits in the background and quietly sends off all
your login details and credit card numbers to a server in Russia or somewhere.
But, instead, PC scanning software was installed and webpage redirects, I
couldn't even load a site as I'd be redirected to another site. Badly written
scripts bought the system to virtually a complete halt.

I managed to clean up the mess with Malwarebytes. But my question is, I thought
that MS had their own anti-virus system installed on Windows 10? Do I really
need to install anti-virus software?
