Microsoft wants to convince us that with Windows Defender we don't need another antivirus on our PC

Not so long ago, having a Windows computer was synonymous with having to have an antivirus installed What's more, it was one of the first steps to take when we got a new team. Well-known brands have emerged under the protection of this need and it is enough to mention a few as an example: Norton, Kaspersky, Avira, the mythical Panda, Avast…

But what about now, is it necessary to have an antivirus in Windows 10 if we already have Windows Defender? To that question from Microsoft it seems that they have already given an answer and it is negative.Windows Defender is increasingly complete and wants to apply as the default protection system for our computers.

Windows Defender is enough

Windows Defender offers an advantage for the user from the outset and that is that it comes pre-installed, so we don't have to deal with installations and much less we have to pay for _defender_ software third parties In addition, Windows Defender increasingly offers better results based on the different analyzes to which it has been subjected and where it is compared with antivirus from other companies.

It is the basis for Microsoft to think and advertise that, with Defender, no other antivirus is necessary. And it seems that the latest results and comparisons of Windows Defender prove them right.

On the one hand, Windows Defender has achieved a high level of protection and has emerged victorious in all the battles against malware over which it has been subjected. In total more than 2,000 tests and a single defeat.

In addition, from Microsoft they ensure that computer performance is not affected with the activity of Windows Defender, something that does not happen with other computers, where the execution of tasks in the background causes the operating system to suffer.

Of all these tests carried out by AV-TEST they feel proud at Microsoft and announce it on their blog. And at this point you have to remember that Windows Defender is not infallible but still, what do you think, _do you settle for Windows Defender as a protection system on your computer or do you prefer to have a third-party antivirus?_
