Is Windows Defender Alone Sufficient?

Many computer users wonder about this, thinking whether it would be better if they install extra security software.
Let’s answer this question.

I look at this question like this, or rather, I think there are 2 or even more different responses. That is, the answers will be different for someone who uses the computer normally and for someone who uses it at an advanced level.

For Normal Users: In my opinion, it is not necessary for people who only use computers for browsing the internet, playing games, watching movies, and writing to install extra security software.
Of course, let me clarify that this only applies to people who do not cheat in games and do not download the movies they watch to their computers.

For Those Who Download Programs/Software to Their Computer: In my opinion, people who constantly download things to their computers, especially those who use generally pirated software (warez users), definitely need to use a security program. I do not think Windows Defender alone would be sufficient in such cases.
This is especially valid for game cheats and pirated programs.

Server; In general, on Windows servers, there absolutely should be extra security software.
If you ask "Why?", you can never know what the person you rented the server to might do with the server, so to be on the safe side, you must definitely install a solid security program on the server system.

Note: According to the situations mentioned above, you can decide for yourself what type of user you are and act accordingly.

In my opinion, Windows 10 and the included Windows Defender provide quite good protection for systems used on a daily basis.
