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

[QUOTE="ScandinavianFish, post: 968924, member: 93786"] Sounds a lot like overreaction on his part, I have used Windows Defender for 3 years now, while going back and forwards with different AV's, it has most of the time ive just ran it a alone and I have not encountered a single false positive on High protection level using ConfigureDefender, and while yes, it has some visual bugs, but its never anything serious. Expecting an antivirus to do all the dirty work is fooling yourself into an false sense of security, if your uncle cant avoid malware and PUP's then thats on his part, not the security software, and there are many things AV's cant really protect you against, like scams involving tech support, snake oil, etc. [/QUOTE]
