Windows Defender or Avira

[Abd El Jalil Yazghi]

Hello everyone,

I have a question about protection, I have windows 8 and windows defender, should I download Avira (free version) or keep windows defender ? Some people say windows defender isn't enough but is avira (free version) better since it's free ?

The latest versions of Windows defender rate very poorly on most antivirus testing. I have used Avira for years and always found it to be very good. I have also just started using Avast on another laptop and it's also very good. So really Avira, Avast or AVG are better than Windows Defender.

Thanks you for the answer, I downloaded Avira,
