How necessary is an antivirus?
Hi! There's nothing critical on my computer. I just use it for personal stuff like browsing the internet, checking email, watching YouTube, and things like that. Running an antivirus periodically sounds like a good idea. I think I'll give it a shot. Thanks for your help!- Miluis

How necessary is an antivirus?
My antivirus slows down my computer a lot, so I’m wondering if Microsoft defender is enough. I mostly just browse the internet for information and use email, but I avoid suspicious emails and unfamiliar sites. How risky would it be to uninstall the antivirus?- Miluis
