Is Windows Defender in W10 sufficient protection?
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware repeatedly detects one or more potentially unwanted objects which it signals as "Non-Malware Detected".
Does Windows Defender alone provide sufficient protection for a W10 computer which is kept fully updated?
If so I could limit Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to occasional scans instead of routine scans daily at startup.
Experts please, your advice.

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
