Find out which anti-virus it is, and find out exactly what "no longer
worked" means.


He mentioned it
to the guy he knows that is the IT guru at a local college. IT guy says,
"With Windows 10 you don't need antivirus software"!!



Like many people who call themselves "gurus," he doesn't know what
he's talking about. Unless of course, he means you don't need
*third-party* anti-virus software.

Let's assume that he did mean that *third-party* anti-virus software is
not needed. But is that true? Is the current Windows Defender as good
as, or better than, the best third-party anti-virus software (whatever
that may be)?


No.
