Whenever I talk about whether or not you need antivirus, people bring up Windows Defender as a counter-argument. Windows Defender IS an antivirus and works just like other AV programs, using system resources exactly the same way. And no, just because it is made by Windows does not mean it is "lighter" in all cases.
Remember the days when McAfee/Norton would come bundled with your computer? Nobody liked that! Just because Windows Defender comes bundled with your copy of Windows 10.
