Anti-virus not needed?

[mikee]

Greetings again after almost a year's absence. Quick one. Someone who seems to know more about computers than I do claims he has never had to install an anti-virus on Windows 10 machines, i.e. that Windows Defender is enough. What say all you?

That's dependent on computer use.

Hmm. We are a church live-streaming our services and uploading sermon podcasts via Wordpress. What do you think? Need more info?

Hi mikee,

make sure you set system restore points and continue using Windows Defender. According to the following AV website, it is quite capable these days!.
