No, especially not for non-technical users. I support a popular software package and we run integrity checks on our own binaries - in recent months, the number of people that contact us and send us samples of our binaries infected with some common trojan on Windows 7 has skyrocketed. And that's just infectious malware.
IMO, Windows Defender is the greatest thing Microsoft has done with Windows 10.

I remember doing tech support work a long time ago and how Malware Bytes was one of the good ones (free) to use/actually worked.
