[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 778361, member: 32260"] I could say: [I]From my experience, Windows Defender out-performs every 3rd party real-time security (on system stability & compatibility). In short, people are better off when avoiding 3rd party real-time security solution.[/I] But this would not be a sound reasoning. Simply, the first sentence may be true, but not the second. I think that your second sentence is also not true. My personal view is slightly more complicated: [LIST=1] [*]For many people who prefer stability & compatibility over usability, WD will be a reasonable solution. Many of them will be also interested in system hardening. [*]For people who prefer usability over stability & compatibility, some 3rd party software will be better. [*]Other people, will often choose 3rd party security, because there is one WD and many 3rd party security applications. [/LIST] I am glad that we do not agree on something. The world would be boring if people would agree on everything.:giggle:(y) [/QUOTE]
