And is it safe to just use Windows 10's Windows Defender? Or Windows Defender + Malwarebytes scanner?
I have been using Microsoft Security Essentials on my Windows 7 for MANY years, moved to Windows Defender on Windows 8 and 8.1.
Now that I have Windows 10 on both pcs, I use Windows Defender as well + Malware Bytes (free trail version) as a scanner.
I like Windows Defender for being extremely light wait, non add and not interfering. I'd like to trust Microsoft in combination with their auto-updates that they know what they are doing.
I found some material online:

And other material suggesting Windows Defender in Windows 10 is good enough:

Like I said I use Defender + Malware Bytes as a scanner only (since it's free), as recommended by MB users. I found both software to be light weight performance wise - since Gaming Performance is my #1 concern.
