This is a fucking stupid take.

Windows defender is an antivirus. They mention it's become "pretty robust" and good enough for most people, but then claims nobody needs an antivirus?

Motherfucker, Windows Defender is the antivirus everyone is using.

And it doesn't matter if you don't need it 99% of the time. It's the one time it's needed that causes the most problems.
