    Removing all A-V except MS?

    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/new...pt-microsofts/

    Avira tossed 3 perfectly good programs in the quarantine garbage can. I fought with it to get them back, and won. I had chosen Avira because Avast had their own popup ads. Now Avira does too.

    Wise to move to MS Sec Essentials?

    Waterfox Classic/Chrome / Firefox 115esr

    Same here as Train. Keeps my computer clean and I'm using Windows 7.

    Uninstalled Avira and installed MSSE. Do I still need BitDefender AntiRansomware and MalwareBytes AntiExploit running in the background?

    I would call them your choice items, as I have never seen the need to even try them.

    I agree with Train. I also never saw a need to use extras. MSE keeps my computer clean, so I don't need other software to take up space on my SSD.
