Hello,

I just bought a Microsoft Pro 1 for my company to help me to manage my work  and my time, my question is:
– Do I need an antivirus software with my Microsoft Surface Pro 1?

Because I was told that Defender is enough but it is the first time I heard about it.

Answer

Windows Defender is the default antivirus for windows but it takes something better. There are free antivirus like Avast and also paid antivirus. Some people strongly discourage the use of free antivirus but it’s your choice, if you have the budget for a paid antivirus, go for it, otherwise download a free version.
