A paid AV is no better than what comes included with Windows....Windows Defender.You guys didn't get my intended meaning. I am unable to update windows because I have a virus. I don't want to reboot windows. So I am considering buying an antivirus. I'm not being asked to buy an antivirus i just want to have one now. Which one would you recomend for my problem. If I can't update windows I can't play these halo games I bought.
