Just recently decided to try the new Windows 10 (default) Windows Defender. In the background, I keep two free programs and run scans with them bi-weekly. They SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes..... usually always catching 10 or-more unwanted, stored adwares.... no big deal.
Been about a month now and these-3 in working combination will probably serve me-well, since I only visit safe, average-Joe news/sports websites and messageboards that feature discussions on guns, major league baseball and my favorite..... bobtheilguy.
I update Adobe Flashplayer manually. I never keep it's Automatic Updates feature activated. I do the same with Mozilla Firefox updates - checking both every two weeks ..... never longer. I use a solid-gold email provider in GMail and never open unknown attachments or spam/junk emails.
Life is good on the interweb these days.
I've always used Norton which has served me very well over the years. I have auto updates working in Norton, but also manually update daily. Delete all internet files daily. I use a laptop and keep it CLEAN. Its just sometimes the viruses attach themselves to any web site or page, but I'm glad Norton points them out and deletes or prevents them.
