I mean… It is good enough.

But the best antivirus in the world won’t stop a user from downloading malware in the same way that the best home security system can’t protect you if you leave your front door open.

You have to use your brain too.

Exactly, I’ve been using Windows Defender for like ten years. Never had malware or viruses because I’m careful about my browsing and what I download.

Seriously, I have no idea what goes through people’s heads. I have a firewall so it must mean I’m allowed to download LITERALLY ANYTHING NOW.
