    Default I need a new free antivirus for my laptop

    I used Malwarebytes Free version for years but it has been having issues lately.

    Does anyone have recommendations for a free antivirus?

    I did try to sign up for Malwarebytes Premium but they want me to add my CC or PayPal account to GooglePay and I am wary of that...

    HELP!

    I guess I'm a dinosaur but MS or Microsoft in the same sentence as anything related to security makes me nauseous ...

    Never needed anything more than MS Defender with Win10 for quite a while now.

    If you have existing malware, get it cleaned up and just keep MS security patches and Defender updated.

    Didn't know that subscription was a requirement, though I do already have an O365 subscription. The 6TB* of cloud space and all the apps is well worth the annual $99.

    * 1TB/user but you can embed multiple accounts and even put dropbox and google drive INSIDE the Onedrive folder.
