Hrmm, do you recommend windows defender in win 10 vs malwarebytes? I just reinstalled it because I figured it was better then the default windows stuff but I can change that out easy enough

Malwarebytes (even the paid version) isn't a replacement for an AV. It's more: shit's gone wrong. Use them together, but preferably get something better than defender. For a free W10 option, I'm currently liking Avast.

I haven't downloaded and installed any strange files while inspecting videos of young ladies who are just down on their luck and need a few dollars

is that code for Porn browsing?

No. Nowadays the kids call that using Bing to do searches.

Defender is microsoft's included virus protection. It has gone through several iterations including microsoft security essentials and forefront. We use the Enterprise version (forefront) at our university with great success.

The real weakness of virus protection is people don't keep it up to date. Defender and the other built in ones I mentioned get updated automatically through windows updates.

Since we push updates via a WSUS and SCCM we can force their virus protection to be up to date daily, you can't necessarily do that with a 3rd party application.

So far, W10 has been great. Now I just need Nvidia to get some drivers going so I can fire up gpu#2 again. There was an update yesterday, but no dice.....DirectX Error within 10 minutes of starting BF4. Back to a single 770.

Also, my wireless G930 headset likes to turn itself off every 10 minutes or so if I don't have the usb charging cable plugged into them. Me thinks Logitech could also use a driver update.

Other than those two issues, W10 has been flawless on both of my desktops, and my old craptop runs like a top with it.

The update hosed me up too due to the SLI Nvidia driver issue.

My laptop is screaming fast now with W10 and its battery lasts way longer even playing WoW and CS:GO.
Still holding off on my main rig until the end of the year when driver issues and patches fix most glaring bugs and hitches.

I upgraded on my work laptop and everything seems to be going fine. Visual studio and a few other IDEs were my main concern but no issues in that department, everything's fine and my battery life is longer.

I'm gonna try and upgrade my main maybe this weekend, we shall see
