Also, if you visit sites. Even if
you have IE or firefox or edge clean out the history. You
may have to manually get rid of history. Even though you
have your virus scan up to date always clean your
hystery. I have my computer not remember passwords even
though it asks. If you are on sites you login always log
out. Sites like drop box or others. Someone in the xp
days told me to always log out and I always do it.

I have not found this to be the case under Windows 10. If
you open Windows Defender you can see when the last virus
definition update has taken place, and that's often very
recent even when I've had my machine up and running for
days.
This also wasn't the case, at least if I'm recalling
correctly, under Windows 8.1 either. It would make
absolutely no sense for any modern antivirus program, and
Windows Defender is one, to not auto-update its own
definitions and, in fact, itself as new releases are
released.
