[SOLVED] Windows 10 defender

Hey guys is the windows 10 Defender default antivirus is good as other programs anti virus out there?
And another question, my father always download movies via torrent is there a big risk to get a virus that my windows defender wont be able to protect?

Windows 10 is generally enough for normal PC usage, but if you're constantly downloading things via torrents, no anti-virus in the world can fully protect you. You need to remember that new vulnerabilities are found every day. Hackers find new ways to utilize them; ways that no anti-virus knows about and therefore cannot protect against. Downloading from questionable sources is an easy way to find out just how damaging these things can be. If you can't stop your father, then you REALLY want to be making regular backups of your data and storing them offline (burn to DVDs).

Format and reinstall of Windows will typically resolve the issue.
