Laptop security protection

[truckerfan]

What protection do you use to protect your laptop as in security software on windows 11? I only have defender

The built in security on Win 11 is actually pretty good, sadly not enough.

My favourite is Panda at around £35UK per year.

MacAfee, Bitdefender & Total AV are all good, cheap or free option.

I personally don't like Norton, I find too bloated and a bit too invasive sometimes.

Whatever you choose, keep it up-to-date.

I just reformat and reinstall windows and back up any important information externally tbh. Never really download that much to where I know it'd be a huge threat. If a site looks fishy enough it generally is anymore you should be able to tell the legitimately of a website or not but things happen.

I believe BitDefender is getting rid of their free version, FYI.

Indeed, but as I said "cheap" and good.
