It’s been a long while since i used a desktop and honestly can’t remember what antivirus software i used, and even then, probably the landscape has changed over the years.

Atm i’ve been winging it with just Windows Defender (no custom configuration) and scanning any thing that looks suspicious on VirusTotal, but probably that would be not enough.

I’m thinking on get a couple of pirated files, so i’d like to be as secure as possible.

    Windows defender is fine if you use a good adblocker and learn what is or isn’t a safe download.

      That’s what I had to resort to after ESET kept forcing update my cracked antivirus…
