Windows Defender versus Norton 360 (installed, programs)

[phetaroi]

Just had my new computer set up by a professional.

I've had Norton 360 for years, but he said that Windows Defender built into Windows 10 was better.

So which is better? Norton 360 or Windows Defender?

I should add that I had already re-purchased Norton just a month ago for the old computer/

I would go with defender. But you can run Norton for the year if you want. Then run defender manually, say once every month or so to see what Norton may have missed. I think Norton will turn defender off when it is installed so you will not have two programs fitting with each other.
