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

[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 968974, member: 19756"] I tried Andy's advice, and also given ShadowRa's latest list of results where Windows Security does better, and I have two questions: 1. What's the anti-ransomware ability of Defender with ConfigureDefender tweaked in high, and Simple Windows Hardening on? (Aside: I could not run one old program, Cinemania, unless I turned off Software Restriction Policy.) 2. What's the web protection like? I use Firefox, so I don't think Smart Screen works with it, and I visit sites that are blocked by Kaspersky, Avast, or Adguard. Can an addon or extension serve in place of Smart Screen? [/QUOTE]
