Windows Defender?

[johnnyb58]

My Bitdefender antivirus expired and I’m not sure yet if I’m going to renew it so I want to know if Windows Defender is capable of keeping me safe until I decide what to do. Do I need to do something to turn on Windows Defender?

Bitdefender has a free version.

Thanks John. I’m very skeptical about anything free, what would they get of it? I know Chrome is free, but they also collect data to sell

It's generally 'capable' but nothing is going to supercede your browsing and computing habits.
