[QUOTE="danb, post: 954429, member: 62850"] Actually, DUI is a feature-rich user-friendly UI for Defender and is designed to replace traditional AV products. In other words, DUI should be indistinguishable from a traditional AV product and should contain all common features, and possibly even more. Hopefully this remains true for the rest of the features as I implement them. It should be ready in a week or so, and you will see what I mean. Defender really is great under the hood, but a lot of users are turned off by its UI, and it is certainly the biggest, most frustrating pain point for me in Windows 10. And when I noticed it was not updated in Windows 11, I decided to build a UI for Defender. As far as CD goes, the intention is not to replace it, especially for users who love portable apps and are content with the current Defender UI. But for users who want a super light and clean full-fledged UI for Defender, and do not mind adding 1 extra megabyte to their C Drive, DUI just might be for them. To correctly develop a full-fledged UI for Defender that does everything a traditional AV does, the app cannot be portable and needs to be designed like a native app. There was a lot more involved than I initially anticipated, but I am getting close. Anyway, I will have to test and make sure CD is compatible with DUI, and ultimately you will be able to use either or both. [/QUOTE]
