So Windows defender actually is doing a good job now?  Because of windows 10?  So just keep what comes with windows?  Thanks for ur feedback, I really appreciate it!

Windows 10 1709 includes EMET into Windows Defender and makes it a very good product. I have it on a couple of machines and I am not having any issue.

Might be a silly question, what is EMET?
I started with Experts Exchange in 2004 and it's been a mainstay of my professional computing life since. It helped me launch a career as a programmer / Oracle data analyst

Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation that prevents attacks.  I use it in Windows 7 and 8 quite successfully.
