I do IT consulting, and when I can't figure out some random problem a client's computer is having, the first thing I look for is any 3rd party virus scanner. I haven't bothered with that kind of stuff for years though, it was more trouble than it was worth in the end in most cases. Or if you want some kind of very restrictive firewall that prompts you for every new application that tries to use the internet. Unless you're dealing with some notorious user that never listens to common sense advice and is constantly clicking on dodgy emails etc, you're better off just using defender.

If someone says "what's a good replacement for Windows Defender?" and 90% of the comments every time it's asked is "Hurrr, Windows Defender LOL" it isn't helpful in any way to the people looking for answers. Chances are if they're asking for an antivirus it's for a reason. I'm not "having a go" at people giving answers - I'm saying that telling people to use what they're already using isn't helpful. I came to these threads looking for an answer to a good free antivirus, because Defender isn't working for me. You seem to be doing the very thing you're accusing me of, however. I'm not acting like I know anything dude except what my task manager is reporting, and what google results are saying about that. It doesn't affect 100% of users obviously, and probably not even 5%, but it is an issue.

Known by the people who have the issue, who else? Does software not have bugs on occasion? Or, alternatively, back up your CPU hog 'point' with a few examples of AVs that aren't CPU hogs, and shoot us some evidence that Defender CPU hogging is a common and known problem. then don't have a go at people who give answers. SpecialistGuy never claimed to be answering the question, he was just replying to someone who had tried to be helpful and answer the question which you didn't bother to answer. 'This answer is not helpful to the question' is not helpful to the question, ironically. You're literally planning on getting an antivirus to disable the antivirus that's already on your computer that suffices anyway. I doubt so many people would recommend something that's using '100%' of their CPUs.įinally, I would've ignored your comments, had you not sounded sarky/like a know-it-all. Go to any post, anywhere online, that asks/discusses what the best antivirus is (free or otherwise), and at least half of the replies are saying Windows Defender is the best option. Have you considered that they may have fixed any CPU usage problems that very well may have been a thing (I do believe you, dw)? open rn and I'm at about 5% CPU usage, give or take.ġ00% usage from Defender alone? Lmao you said you haven't used an antivirus in over 5 years, yet you're acting like you know everything about Defender.
