Paid vs free anti-virus software

I have seen various combinations of anti-virus softwares installed on computers, sometimes multiple at the same time because the one stopped working and the user just decided to install another thats seemingly better. Suddenly your computer is so sluggish you dread waiting all that time for the machine to startup to the login screen. For most people it seems like it’s a necessity because it protects your machine from malicious software while in the meantime the anti-virus is already taking up a significant amount of resource to provide real-time scanning of files and matching virus definition.

Since Windows 7 up to Windows 10, it provided Windows Defender protection free of charge and while no 3rd party anti-virus is installed. This is a very lightweight and perfect solution for a guesstimated 80% of computer users. If not visible in the system tray, bottom right corner, its icon to launch is available at all times in the control panel of your Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 computer.
