Windows 10 security.

The MI has bought a new laptop and asked me if she needs extra firewall antivirus?
She will only be using it for email and surfing and printing. She will not be home shopping or banking or going on any dodgy sites so I reckon the built in security should suffice... I'm I right?

Probably right .
But the big problem these days is users clicking or opening something suspicious .

No need for an external firewall. Most of the consumer firewalls actually create more security holes than they solve

If the MI get email via outlook.com/google mail they pick up most spam and payloads.

Typical i had an email today from Royal Mail .
My parcel needs to be collected from the sorting office . Click link to check .

How many would click this link even if they where not expecting a parcel ??

View Message Source showed it was not from Royal Mail at all .
