I seem think I already antivirus on my windows 10 and I dont need another Ani virus do i?

Nah, Windows Defender is all you need these days.

I see and interesting as I thought that when you got windows defender and why you would need another Antivirus software?

I don't use AV on MacOS or Windows 11. I used to be more paranoid about Windows and installed an AV as the first thing but these days find the built in security more than enough for my needs. Malwarebytes does get an outing around once a month on each OS just for sanity reasons.

i use malware bytes.

and from time to time i download the last version of "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool" on the microsoft.com website. and do a quick check on my computer.

i also use virustotal.com to check if an executable (.exe) is 'safe', before running it.

ESET

I use Bitdefender Antivirus Free (which really is free) on MacOS and Android. On Windows it's Defender or MSE (which are free). I don't go near dodgy sites so I've never actually had any infections reported for years.

Is this web site ?

https://www.bitdefender.com

EDIT:
Weird..now it shows page where its free..just before that was page with 3 different plans..

Ah yes that's right, they do have a lot of different versions, but the free is only a virus scanner. They hide the free versions but they're here: https://www.bitdefender.co.uk/toolbox/freeapps/desktop/
