10 computer performing slower than usual? Are you seeing different pop-ups that
weren’t there before?
If these are the
cases, you may have a malware-infected PC on your hands. There are ways you can
check. This article will teach you how to scan your PC for malware in Windows
10.
Windows
Defender
The first logical
place to start would be Windows Defender. Not only is it free, but it also
comes with every Windows 10 purchase. It’s also simple to use — making it the
ideal solution for your average users who won’t go beyond mainstream sites.

Windows Defender will automatically scan your computer for malware. The most

Is
Windows Defender enough?
The short answer is no — not if you’re looking for a much more robust solution. As mentioned earlier, Defender will be enough for the average user.
But if we’re talking pure performance, there are third-party solutions out there that offer more protection and can be fine-tuned to meet specific needs. One tool we have always suggested in Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
