Do you still need an antivirus for Windows?
The necessity of antivirus software for Windows has diminished with the integration of Windows Security, which offers comprehensive protection against viruses and malware. While third-party antivirus solutions like Bitdefender and Norton provide additional features such as VPNs and data breach monitoring, the built-in Windows Security, combined with an updated browser, offers a robust defense. Users must consider their online activities and the potential risks of not using additional antivirus software, but for many, the built-in security may suffice.

Editor’s Note: Publishers Need a New Channel for Discovery
Publishers are increasingly challenged by the dominance of Meta and Google, which control significant channels for audience discovery and distribution.

The US government's antitrust lawsuit against Google's search market dominance and the potential outcomes of Google losing its default search engine contracts are discussed. The article suggests that publishers should collaborate to create a publisher-led news hub app as a new channel for discovery, citing the digital revolution's feasibility for such an endeavor and the need for publishers to overcome historic rivalries to ensure a sustainable future for the industry.
