Given that many reddit posts claim that the default windows 10 defender is better, do I even need 3rd party software?Always in the past, everyone always used to say that the default protection was no good and that it was almost mandatory to install 3rd party software, now people seem to be saying that the default software is better. They want me to buy the “premium version”Avast’s own website warns people about the “your drivers are out of date, pay us to update the drivers” scam andHow there is all this “ransomware” out there that threatens to do bad stuff to your computer unless you pay themYet they themselves are using the same tactic!!! it’s more subtle, because they aren’t thresting me directly, only suggesting to me that the threat is out there unless I pay them, so it’s more like Mob racketeering.Meanwhile, when I do into the auto updaters on my computer and go into my drivers and click “search for driver updates”, it always tells me I have the latest drivers and yet Avast keeps telling me my drivers are out of date and wants me to pay them to get the updates.I’m 99% sure that I’m using the “real” version of Avast, because it’s the same one I’ve been using for the last 8 years.but wtf?I’ll admit, i’m seriously considering the same action.
