Oops sorry, forgot '"10" in the title. Has anyone who only uses Windows Defender in Windows 10 (i.e. no 3rd. party real-time protection) ever had an issue with malware?

Hey CanDane,

I have seen some people have problems with is for removing malware and not detecting it. I personally use a paid version of a AV, I dont trust microsoft to be able to protect me.

Hi KiwiProbie, as you know from another post, I personally use a paid version of an AV as well. The reason for this particular post was because I MAY consider only using Windows Defender two years from now (when my AV expires). Just wondered if anyone has had any issues.
