[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 953028, member: 32260"] These settings are recommended by Microsoft for average users, because of the low false positives rate. Using Defender's advanced settings can slightly increase the number of false positives, just like with any other AV. Different users require different protection levels. Users who cannot get occasional help to solve the problems with false positives should probably use the AV on default settings. Others can consider using advanced settings, especially when they do not install/use non-prevalent applications. [/QUOTE]
