[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 811322"] I use Configure Defender in my current setup and it's very safe and easy to use. All it does is apply settings the MS has burried within W10 to further improve WD's overall security. Like other have said, you can configure the exact same settings manually either via Powershell, registry, and/or group policy editor (will need atleast W10 Pro for this), however Configrue Defender makes it far easier to do. At the end of the day whether you use Configure Defender, or apply the settings manually, the results will be the same. All it really comes down to is whether you want to do it manually (will take longer), or do you just want to take like 5 secs and use Configure Defender to apply the same settings for you? Which ever route you decide to go, just remember to restart your computer in order for the settings to take effect.(y) [/QUOTE]
