I have been computer free for probably 15ish years until I recently bought and set up a RPi4 with Linux. It’s been fun but I’m not really a super user so I’m looking to back to Windows as my main OS.
- is antivirus a necessity? I will be gaming and streaming on my new setup.
If yes then
- what are some ideal options? Paid or free.
Thanks for your responses in advance.
Just gonna triple up on recommending Windows Defender + responsible web browsing. Anti-virus isn’t really needed these days
Windows defender is an anti virus though
I concur with PP_BOY_.
Also, keep Windows and your browser updated.
Win defender is actually great these days. I usually double up with malware bytes though.
And when in suspicion of getting a virus, try Spybot S&D and MalwareBytes to scan your PC.
