Hi, I'm given to believe that the recent large update from Windows caused my computer to crash because of possible conflict with Avast (?) I also believe that this has also occurred on previous occasions when also using AVG.
I can understand updates conflicting with 3rd party software and this has brought me to pose this question.
Would I be adequately protected using Windows Defender bearing in mind that my browsing is restricted to well known and respected sites and I don't blindly click on to hyperlinks.
Regarding the recent crash referred to; I was able to complete a full recovery and I am now looking to avoid problems of this nature whenever possible.
Thank you.
