[QUOTE="SearchLight, post: 950151, member: 63857"] I am back to using Windows Defender set to High with ConfigDefender by AndyFul. One thing that I found annoying was that I could not clear the accumulation of entries over time in the Protection history immediately as various websites have suggested. I came across this one that worked for me: [URL='https://www.thewindowsclub.com/clear-windows-defender-protection-history']How to manually clear Windows Defender Protection History in Windows 10[/URL] I tried the suggestions but what worked for me was going into the referenced Scans folder, and deleting the folder marked History contained within. The end result was that when I went back into WD Protection History was that it said Threat Protection Stopped Restart. I restarted TP, and voila a clean Protection History. I hope this tip for those of you using WD as it worked for me. [/QUOTE]
