I just upgraded to pro 6 and wondering which to use if theres any better than AVG

Windows Defender, built-in to Windows 10, is all I need.

Visit Windows Update daily. Windows Defender has virus detection updates daily - sometimes multiple times daily.

Windows Defender here as well

Used to run Malwsrebytes as primary and defender occasional scans but when I recently reset my rig I skipped Malwarebytes and run defender only. Seems to do the job well.
Malwarebytes had a high rate of detection of questionable behavior of websites. Not sure if these flags were real.

After two years of also using Malwarebytes Premium (I still have it running), not one threat has been detected. This is a testimony to how vigilant and accurate Windows Defender is.

Just last year I cleared infections from a computer using Malwarebytes Antimalware and Windows Defender was acting hilariously throughout the scan. As soon as Malwarebytes Identified and cleared an infection, Windows Defender would pop up a notification right after saying "Infection found!". It was too funny. I do have to say that Defender has gotten better lately, but Malwarebytes is still my "go to" for making sure a machine is clean from infections. I don't need it for real time scanning though.

Ha! I remember when Vista identified the Windows 8 installer as a virus, halfway through the installation .
