Windows built‑in security basics ✅
Keep these ON for everyday protection:

1) Microsoft Defender Antivirus
- Real‑time protection ON
- Cloud‑delivered protection ON
- Automatic sample submission ON

2) SmartScreen
- Blocks risky downloads/apps & suspicious sites
- Keep ON in Windows Security + your browser

3) Windows Firewall
- Leave ON for all networks (Public/Private)
- Only allow apps you trust

Tip: Don’t install “extra antivirus” unless you need it-Defender + updates + safe browsing is enough for most users.
