Recently I suspected I'd opened a phising e-mail on my PC (running Windows 10, plus a paid subscription to Kaspersky - in case you want to hack me). I had the computer checked by a local IT guy & luckily no virus or malware found.
When picking up my laptop, the IT guy advised me not to bother renewing my Kaspersky subscription when it came due "because Windows 10 now has enough anti-virus protection built in".
The subscription's due for renewal soon, so I tried Googling this question, but can't get any clear answers.
I notice my work computers - also Windows 10 - still have some kind of separate security software running, so I'm tending to think I should ignore the advice and renew.
Anyone have an informed opinion on this?
