"MalwareBytes (free version) should be more protective"
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.
