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

[QUOTE="Captain Holly, post: 982388, member: 90494"] The main problem I have with WD is it is just too hard to understand. CFA is useless because it blocks legit apps. WD is hard to schedule a scan and a full scan of an average system can take all night and still not be done by morning. WD will do a quick scan on its own and tell me about the results ten days later. I also don't like having to add extra apps to make WD work better. Configure defender is a great app but I think the AV should perform all it's functions on its own without outside help. Also if you use any browser other than Edge you have no web protection. WD needs improvement. C.H. [/QUOTE]
