[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 976924, member: 32260"] [B][SIZE=5]Does everyone need advanced Defender settings?[/SIZE][/B] The short answer for most people (home users) will be:[SIZE=5][B] NO[/B][/SIZE]. [SIZE=4]This question is reasonable because the Defender default protection (with Edge SmartScreen) for home users is currently very similar to the protection of popular home AVs (on default settings). Using the advanced Defender settings is similar to using advanced ATP settings in other AVs. Some people may like it and some probably do not need it. Anyway, using advanced Defender settings at home can be seriously considered in some cases, for example:[/SIZE] [LIST=1] [*]The computer is used both in-home and work. [*]The ASR rules for MS Office can be recommendable when MS Office is installed. [*]Using other ASR rules is a good idea to protect happy clickers and children. [*]The Cloud Protection Level set to Highest is (also) a very good anti-ransomware protection. [*]The settings in the "Admin: Smartscreen" section in ConfigureDefender (for IE and legacy Edge) can be useful for people who still use the older versions of Windows 10.(y) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
