[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 98186, post: 1026444"] Does anybody bother to read anything carefully? Plus this is old news announced in early 2022. The article is as click-bait as it gets - deliberately mis-stating in the title what exactly will be installed: Microsoft Defender App - which is NOT Microsoft Defender antivirus. It can be argued that the title of the article is designed to create outrage by mis-stating the facts - to make people think that Microsoft Defender antivirus will be deliberately forced onto their systems. For a much more accurate description of what Microsoft is installing and how it will behave on Android and iOS (e.g. iPad - not MacBooks), read this article and the official Microsoft Defender App support page: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/16/23170743/microsoft-defender-ios-android-mac-windows-app-dashboard-microsoft-365[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/getting-started-with-microsoft-defender-9df0cb0f-4866-4433-9cbc-f83e5cf77693[/URL] Here is what gets installed, what it does (not fully explained - " protection against phishing and unsafe network connections from websites, emails, and apps"), and why Microsoft thinks it is value-added: [URL='https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/microsoft-defender/9P6PMZTM93LR?hl=en-us&gl=us']Get Microsoft Defender from the Microsoft Store[/URL] [ATTACH alt="2023-02-26 11_23_22-Flashback Express.png"]273172[/ATTACH] Other resources to unravel Microsoft's dodgy marketing of "Microsoft Defender app for...": [URL unfurl="true"]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.scmx&gl=US[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://apps.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-defender/id1526737990[/URL] [USER=77378]@zkSnark[/USER] [USER=69270]@pxxb1[/USER] [USER=61892]@TairikuOkami[/USER] [USER=38079]@Pat MacKnife[/USER] [/QUOTE]
