Windows defender is all you need. I keep the free version of malwarebytes on my pc just in case something seems off. It does not start up or run in the background tho.
Supplement it with a strong ad blocker and you’ve eliminated most routes other than phishing for getting malware on your system. It really is shockingly good.
Ditto. Maybe a CCleaner once in a while. That’s about it. You kind of have to go out of your way to get windows infected with something, or just be really stupid like plugging in a usb drive you found on the restaurant floor on your lunch break.

Same.

ccleaner is really shady and you probably shouldnt use it
Yeah, just saw that other post about CCleaner. Just uninstalled it last night and installed BleachBit.
Thanks for the pointer, though.
