Windows 10
having not renewed my norton presciption and after advice from other members on here , im now just relying on microsoft defender. seems to be ok up to now apart from the length of time waiting for a full scan to complete. i have enabled auto updates to keep up with any new security updates , but do i have the same protection if i change my browser ? i am on microsoft edge at the moment but would like to use firefox. if i do change over will i then need to use a free antivirus such as av or similar? i dont want to compromise the microsoft defender protection that i already have , which i would have thought goes hand in hand with windows 10. advice appreciated thanks .

As Rogue said, use Firefox and defender will do the rest, that's been my setup for years now.

Which magazine have just tested anti virus software. Of the free ones BitDefender came top closely followed by Avast which is what I use with Firefox.
