It’s generally a good idea to use antivirus software to protect your computer from malware, including viruses, ransomware, and other types of threats. While Windows does include some basic protection, a dedicated antivirus program can provide additional layers of security and offer a wider range of features, such as real-time protection, online banking protection, and more.

That being said, you should be aware that Windows Defender, the built-in antivirus program for Windows, has improved significantly in recent years and may be sufficient for many users. If you are a casual computer user and don’t frequently download files from the internet or click on links in emails from unknown senders, Windows Defender may be able to protect you from most threats.

If you are a more advanced user, or if you engage in activities that may expose you to a higher risk of malware, such as downloading files from sketchy websites or opening attachments from unknown senders, you may want to consider using a third-party antivirus program for additional protection. There are many antivirus programs available, and it’s important to choose one that is reliable, effective, and easy to use.
