While Defender is certainly no Kaspersky, it is fairly solid, but I understand your concern. Although pairing Defender with Comodo Firewall (which will catch things that slip Defender's Net) for me would be Optimal. However if you want to go in another direction CyberLock is quite solid.Hello, Cruel Sister. If I may ask, aside from Comodo, what other programs (pardon me, I am old fashioned...I mean apps), would you recommend for someone who doesn't want to just rely on antivirus? As a matter of fact, now that most run Defender, I wonder how wise this is, since, I imagine that every bad guy out there must test his ware against Defender... So, no surprise that lately some exploits used Defender to gain root access.
Just avoid pure HIPS based products.
