Should I install third-part anti-virus app on Windows 11?
It seems Windows 11 is easy to get infected or hacked by virus/malware. Should I install 3rd-party antivirus for additional security?
No, Defender does its job very well and provides more protection for only malware and viruses, so there's no need to bloat your system(s).
- Windows/Microsoft Defender comes built-in with Windows 11, so you don't third-party AV protection. You can rely on Defender and continue using it. Make sure you upgrade its update definitions regularly.
