Do I also need the desktop malware protection?

Question

I have virus scanning at the SOHO firewall. Do I also need the desktop malware protection?

Answer 1

No, it's not necessary to have another product if the SOHO product already features a virus and firewall protection module. Theoretically, the antivirus protection should be able to detect any possible malware attempts.

If you have a powerful computer, install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware as a dedicated solution for malware infections.
