Microsoft Defender
Is the improved performance of Microsoft Defender a myth? Should we necessarily be using a 3rd party AV?

[QUOTE="plat, post: 968861, member: 74969"] Indeed! Defender augmented by the well-known free (or paid) helper (ConfigureDefender, OSArmor, etc) can outshine the best of free and many paid antivirus solutions provided you set things up properly, don't get reckless, and have some patience. We are beating a dead something or other here. Everyone makes at least one good point--c'mon, you can't dispute that. Not saying this isn't a productive discussion but I've seen one too many of these eventually blunder into "locked for further replies" territory one way or another. 🥳🌺🥂✨<------holiday spirit.
