This doesnt include real time scanning does it?

No, but Windows Defender should be sufficient to catch the majority of viruses and malware using heuristic analysis ("real-time scanning"). I recommend pairing it with the free version of Malwarebytes for manually scanning new downloads and installations, since their database tends to catch more zero-day threats.

Folks will say windows defender is fine. Sure, I'm not a specialist so you can choose what you like.
I prefer the reduced resource load of eset and the fewer false positives.
It seems whenever I've tried to trust defender, something happens. It became a hassle that even if there wasn't malware the resources consumed would almost act like malware.
I'm not going to argue one is "best" but for me I like things that just WORK and stay out of my way. This is just my 27 years of gaming and computer building experience, so call me stubborn I guess.
