[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 109138, post: 1080690"] Standard account is very good advice. So are the other two listed especially number 2. Allowing a download to sit for a couple days inert allows time if it is indeed a zero day to be discovered in the wild and signatures formed for it. Whats also free is virus Total, and no need to download two 3rd party applications to your system. Even if applying number 2 good advice above, I would scan it with VT to ensure before executing it. If you combine all the "good habits", you have minimized the chances to such a low percentage of anything happening in a realistic world. Microsoft Defender is more then enough, part of the OS, best compatibility, and does not extend the attack surface by adding more bugs. [/QUOTE]
