Do you utilize a dedicated AV like Bitdefender when sailing? Or do you still trust Windows Defender to take care of the higher risk while doing this? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

What the title says, and that's pretty much it. Do you or don't you?

I don't trust Windows Defender at all. I use BitchDefender all of the time. I tried Windows Defender for a year and it didn't fill me with confidence.

I also upload to virus total anything from an unknown source. I tried to use Intezer as well but I had many problems with my account that I have up on them. For some reason their server didn't like my account. A brand new account got closed the following day for being inactive for too long. A week later I can reset the password but I can't log in.
