Do I need to install an antivirus software for Win 10? Or is it enough with Win 10 in-built one?

Thanks 🎉

It really depends. Are you the type of person who's willing to download a steam key generator ?

Yea, especially cracking password software. Are all those ones fake?

I just have Malwarebytes. That's all I need.

Does MBAM uses a lot of memory usage?

First off use ublock origin extension to block pop-ups and ads which can give you adware.

I would use Malwarebytes since they got better detection imho. Lately, I only download movies when needed and haven't had any detection for the last couple of months. So sometimes I just turn off all antivirus on my pc because it does use resources.

From my task manager right now:

It uses around 700mb ram while scanning. In idle I would refer to 1337GAMER's post
It isn't much. But antiviruses tend to use CPU more than other resources

then I'll keep using Windows Defender better I think.

You deff need a anti virus then.

[itzgame]

It just uses about 65 MB RAM usage.

If you don't do stupid things it can work. But I recommend to run MWB at least once because it tends to detect more than Windows Defender

I agree with you.

If you're that type of person it might be best to start using virtual machines in the first place to protect yourself. I don't know why people find it necessary to run untrusted or unknown software on their machine and possibly compromise themselves but hey, all kinds of people in the world I suppose. You can build a brick wall around yourself in order to protect yourself from guns and bullets but if you're the one with the sledgehammer knocking the wall down yourself, I don't quite see the point of using an antivirus in the first place.

Surely you must be aware of the fact that there's a thing called a crypter than can completely circumvent an AV's detection methodology and thus would render an AV essentially pointless until whatever malware it is, is actually detected.

That's why I suggest using a virtual machine, because at the very least your main machine won't be infected but your virtual one will be.

I would've given the same answer, but i felt like OP is just trolling
