A Review of Windows Defender
Microsoft’s integrated antivirus software named Windows Security now, does not require subscription. It is also free. It is highly regarded by leading AV testing laboratories all over the world. It offers an effective malware defense without affecting system performance. It also offers a variety of useful additional features, like the protection against ransomware as well as a password manager. However, it lacks certain essential features that are found in premium antivirus suites, and isn’t among the most user-friendly choices.
Security against threats and viruses include the usual fast, full and custom scans as well as an intense offline scan mode to combat difficult-to-get rid of threats. The firewall and network module is simple to use, however it’s not as comprehensive as its competitors. Its biggest drawback, however is that it’s only available on Windows devices and if you’re trying to protect your Mac or Android phone, you’ll have to find a different solution.
The family options include parental control as well as the ability monitor the health of devices within your family. The password manager is hidden in the Edge browser that can be synced to your other devices. The downside is that you aren’t able to manage the features from the app, and you must use a web browser to do so.
It is different from other antivirus programs in that it does not connect itself into the Windows Kernel. This can create new attack surfaces for hackers, and can destabilize an operating system. It also has good behavior detection and stops users from accidentally downloading malicious files.
