When I used Avira, it kept throwing up abnoxious, mostly illegible windows
onto the screen. I could not get much actual feedback about anything useful
the program did.

I understand that Microsoft was once not on the ball with anti-virus. In the
old days, almost anything was better than their MSAV software. But now? Why
go for a free anti-virus that's full of ads and other annoyances when you
can use a free AV that's built into your operating system? I can hardly
believe I'm for once not advocating the use of a third-party product, but
there you go. Seems to me, if you want good third-party anti-virus, why not
pay for it?

Even there though, you're faced with some dicey propositions. Mcfee or
whatever it's called from Network Associates is used by a lot of commercial
and government groups. Guess what? It's crap. Count on it to save your butt
and it will only start screaming at you after the damage has been done. I
don't know much about it lately but I've heard horrible things about
Norton/Symantec as well. And these are products that charge a hefty price
for their use.

I turned off defender and use avira on my laptop. It works reasonably good
on this end, and it's free.
